    Ah, but did you read the article?

    MS didn’t force it, Heimdal auto-updated it for their customers based on the assumption that Microsoft would label the update properly instead of it being labeled as a regular security patch. Microsoft however made a mistake (on purpose or not? Who knows…) in labeling it.

      Then it’s still on Microsoft for pushing that update through what is essentially a patch pipeline

        It is, but they never forced anyone to take the update, so that might save their asses, or it might not

          This would be no different to you ordering food in a restaurant, them bringing you the wrong meal, you refusing because you didn’t order it, then they tell you to go fuck yourself and charge you for it anyway.

          If this argument is valid in your judicial system then you live in a clown world capitalist dictatorship.

            Have you seen the state of the US? A “clown world capitalist dictatorship” is a pretty apt description
