Microsoft: Like Hell Those Black Screens Are Our Fault


Microsoft: Like Hell Those Black Screens Are Our Fault

microsoft-logoRedmond is claiming that “[Microsoft] the company has found those reports to be inaccurate and our comprehensive investigation has shown that none of the recently released updates are related to the behavior described in the reports.” So said Christopher Budd, Microsoft’s security response communications lead, to the SeattlePI.
