Summary: Fine new examples of the fragility of Microsoft lock-in systems

WE HAVE just created a new Wiki page about SharePoint. To this page we add this latest story of a SharePoint catastrophe. As Slashdot puts it:



snydeq writes "Microsoft's latest Black Tuesday SharePoint patch is causing Windows SharePoint Servers to lock up, according to a report from InfoWorld. There does not appear to be a single solution to the problem, which Microsoft has yet to officially acknowledge. Compounding the problem is a bug that prevents patch KB 983444 from being uninstalled. 'Patching gurus recommend that anyone who's encountered this problem call Microsoft support and file a problem report. Immediately. Until the level of clamor reaches a critical point, Microsoft may not have sufficient impetus to fix the patch.'"


From the original article:

Admins report that a new Microsoft patch is causing SharePoint servers to fall over -- and getting them back up isn't easy


As we argued this morning, support for Mono from companies like Infragistics seeks to guarantee that GNU/Linux inherits the flawed architecture of Microsoft software. There is nothing to be admired in it.
