Microsoft yanks Vista SP1 update causing endless reboots

Quote

Update has been pulled from Windows Update, but Microsoft has not yet produced a fix for users whose machines either won't boot or reboot constantly... Responding to reports of endlessly rebooting PCs that flooded support newsgroups last week, Microsoft said on Tuesday it had pulled an update designed to prep Windows Vista for Service Pack 1.

So typical of Microsoft.
And one wonders why so many people trust automatic updates.
Cheers,

Well, for one, most of them DO patch up your security. Although I don't see why they just continue testing their new OS until they're completely ready for the new world. Well, that's how they make money.
And also, before posting HJT logs, you suggest we have all the updates from Microsoft. I'm sure there's a reason for telling us to that that? :thumbsup:

Poor Vista users.

"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way." - Bertrand Russell

Luckily, my mom and brother, who both have Vista on their computers, didn't download the update.

Endless rebooting = computer out the window. :thumbsup:
