What MS should have done, if you click on more information, is tell you that the new release is just that, a new release. Instead they don't. I agree, it is FUD. I haven't re-installed it for that reason.

Here is one thing I absolutely do not understand. Why does an experienced Software company like Microsoft release 2 different pieces of software under the absolute same name?

As a professional user I cannot take the risk and have disabled KB3097877 permanently. They should not expect a customer to "reinstall the same thing and hope it is fixed" that is FUD.

Not only that. Why didn't Microsoft stop the roll out of KB3097877 as soon as they knew people were experiencing problems? Instead it took them 36 hours to react and then they did it the same way a kid who has been caught with his pants down would: 'ooops, let's pretend nothing happened and hope nobody noticed'.

No, Microsoft, we *all* noticed. Idiots, Doh!

The correct way would have been (IMO) a versioned KB with either a completely new version number or (if it doesn't break their naming conventions() something like KB3097877.1 - fixes the issues introduced by previous version pack. They would even have the comfort of fixing further problems with a KB3097877.2

There is a reason why there are (ascending) version numbers in "old school" software.

I installed as well the 2nd version of KB3097877, on french Seven Pro 64 bits.

I didn't get any trouble with ObjectDock or Outlook, but this morning i got lots of troubles with Windows Live Mail. :annoyed:

Don't really know if it's something in relation with this KB, but i uninstalled it, marked as not show anymore, no more troubles with Windows Live Mail (cross fingers :X )

I just marked as hidden and left it alone. Screw MS!
