Kinda feeling like all fingers point home huh?

Why blame the poor MCSE's when one should perhaps fault the vendor again,
for not only failing to provide a viable patching system that does not
overburden these folks, but also undertrains them in perperation for the
world of hurt they are about to be employed in.

There, that should satisfy all those  indignant MCSE's that try to do the
right thing, but are swamped with the rate of and poor quality of patches
they have to deal with.


Thanks,
