Meltdown, Spectre patch drama continues - first they said "PATCH it is critical", then "WAIT it will break", then "GO AHEAD" then, Intel says "oops we did not test our patches properly" and today Microsoft wants to uninstall one of its patches.

Microsoft has issued on Saturday an emergency out-of-band Windows update that disables patches for the Spectre Variant 2 bug (CVE-2017-5715).

The update —KB4078130— targets Windows 7 (SP1), Windows 8.1, all versions of Windows 10, and all supported Windows Server distributions.
