Microsoft has released an out-of-schedule fix for problems introduced by its last patch for Internet Explorer.

The fix, described in Microsoft support article ID 976749, was initially made available on October 28 and revised on Wednesday. It aims to rectify issues in the MS09-054 cumulative security update for Internet Explorer, which was included in the Patch Tuesday batch of security updates sent out on 13 October.

People will encounter problems with the original MS09-054 patch depending on various criteria, Microsoft said. If Internet Explorer 8 is running in standards mode, it will miscalculate the top position of an object in the browser window. In addition, Internet Explorer will encounter scripting errors when visiting web pages that use VBScript or a combination of VBScript and Javascript.

... fixing things that don't work, repairing broken code, and generally looking after its customers.

Too bad they can't do the same for you. (Fixing things that don't work)

"repairing broken code" whose sole purpose was to repair broken code. If I took my car to a repairman and had to take it back a second time because his fix broke something else, I may or may not give him a second chance to keep me as a customer in the future. If it happened a second time, not only would he never get me as a customer again, but I'd make sure all my friends and family members knew about it so that they could make up their own minds whether to consider him in the future. It's unfortunate that companies sometimes get too big for this kind of shoddy service to really matter anymore. Our airline companies enjoy life without any real standards for service. Our electricity companies are in the same boat. Many of our cable companies and local telephone services as well. And then there's this. The bigger the customer base, the less quality service seems to matter.

Everyone always wants to put down people & companies. I prefer to look at it that they are always striving to make it better. How could anyone foresee EVERY problem with a piece of software what other software in the future may do? (1/2 full not 1/2 empty attitude)
