Beware of Vista

For the second time in about a month, my Vista machine has automatically downloaded upgrades from Microsoft that have broken Word.

I have to say, don't go near this operating system unless you really have to.

Update:

Here's a Network World Community blog posting, describing the same problem:

And here's a link to a Microsoft Support page telling users how to edit the registry and delete a registry key to fix the problem:

Second Update:

More problems with Vista, discovered by Microsoft executives no less, are detailed in this New York Times story.
