I patched on Sunday morning. Just checked and its not there - I'm assuming they pulled it.
A little research hints that they pulled it on Friday, Aug 15th.

I'm always criticized for this, but my god, why do you think I turn off Windows Update the minute I configure a new computer?

I don't know why you are criticized for it. I am the same way. I set up the Updates to notify me and that is all.
Let me know so I can pick when to download and which ones to install.
I loathe the automatic setting of downloading and installing. Even just the download would often kick off and make the computer entirely unusable.

Hmm... Noticed the little system tray icon this morning that means "I just downloaded another hit of upgrades from uSoft... Wanna shoot up?"
Glad I didn't fill up the syringe yet...

I've always been an early patcher, and this month is no exception.
I have it installed on maybe 20 machines (physical or virtual), and not a BSOD in sight.
(of course having said that I've now just jinxed myself...)

Try turning the machines off and then back on.

Thing is, all my machines had to be rebooted after installing the patches. I think I'm good.
(again, I probably just jinxed myself)

Soft boot is different than hard boot. Good luck.

I have, multiple times with multiple computers and none had problems. There is likely a hardware component to this--that is, it only BSODs with a certain chipset, BIOS or CPU revision.

That's probably true. It's happened to me and my *guess* is it may be related to BIOS UEFI support.

Maybe Microsoft uses systems with no UEFI. Or the testers said "don't ship" and some idiot manager didn't listen.

Wouldn't be the first time that some BM did that.

One of the comments on the article cracked me up. It was the standard "this is why you should use Mac" comment, forgetting the time a Mac patch reformatted the hard drive.

I understand. Leaving my previous work digs was bitter-sweet. To this day, I still miss most of my colleagues; great bunch of people, and most, a pleasure to work with.

Yeah, that's how I felt after my divorce. Well, except for the attachment to the old part.

As soon as you leave the the current company, the great times you had add up to your "Best moments" stack and the not so great moments add up to your "Thank god I am out of there" stack. In any case you should feel better to the choice you got to explore new world!
