Why I hate system updates!

Sunday, January 11, 2009 9:23 PM

There are basically two fundamental reasons why I hate performing system updates, although hate may sound like a strong word but I seriously dislike updating my systems.

  1. Updates that are obvious end up causing more harm than good
  2. Features that are removed without any notice

I recently updated my vista machine which went smoothly if I must add and that is a few days ago, everything has been fine so far until today when I tried to RDP using console mode into one of my servers at my co-location facility and bam! it didn't work.

After a few hours of research I found out that Microsoft was smart enough to disable/remove that feature with the new RDP client because of some security reason - apparently you can no longer connect to session 0 on terminal services. Off course there is a new /admin switch which I tried with no success. Arrgghhhhh!!!!! What were they thinking?
