Sad

I understand why they wouldn't want the Autopatcher site to exist--it provides a way for 'unverified' copies of Windows to get patches. However, if MS wasn't so eager to crush everything that isn't MS out of existence, they should have bought them out, or offered to host the utility with some form of verification of the Windows copy. Sadly, another good samaritan gets stomped on, and IT pros and casual users lose a valuable tool for patching systems that don't have access to a broadband connection. Things like this make me believe that in the end, Linux & Open Source will eventually prevail.
