AutoPatcher no longer allowed

[M3gaM4n]

this is why you don't base your servers in the us/eu cause big companies can bully you around

f^ck you microsoft, your greedy stupid ###### who can't get your heads out of your ass

auto patcher is a fine tool and wga is a piece of sh^t that only hassles legit users of your soft

i think mabey we should contact leo laporte mabey he can rally support

There is no need for anger, petitions, boycotts, etc.

You can email me at nw_raptor#gmail_com (replace _ with . and # with @).

An update for all of you:

We have already come up with a set of changes/features in order to continue the project without redistributing Microsoft?s patches. We are still waiting however from an in-depth reply from Microsoft. In any case, we will be implementing these changes as soon as possible.

Perhaps the original post in this thread should be updated to reflect this information?

Autopatcher may you rest in piece

This just sucks. I have to support a small network of about 35 computers and Autopatcher saved me countless hours. There is nothing worse than trying to get updates through Microsoft's site. It just takes way too long. Oh well, maybe it will give us incentive to move on to Linux that much sooner. As if Vista was not enough of a reason. Microsoft must really not care about the customer to do something like this.

Thanks to the Autopatcher team for all your hard work. Even if you can't include Microsoft updates I would still appreciate a package off all the extra's you include with Autopatcher, especially the tweaks as they make XP that much easier to make usable with minimal effort.

:D

F*ck. I can't believe I have to reinstall all these patches now...BS

[PaulCabby]

i bet theres a mirror of the latest autopatcher version somewhere on the internet.. so not all is lost ^^ you'd just be buggered for every other update after it :p

That protest was class :D loved the cardboard sign

Thanks xD

[Jack 0Neill]

Five 20-30 second videos that could have been one video... that was just bad.

It was a good attempt, but you need more than one person for a protest. ;)

[BrainDedd]

Well we have a few here ...

Edit: And M2Ys4U ... you're my new hero :)

[AdzzzUK]

Quality. I'd have joined in too if only I lived in Reading!! lol

Anyway - kudos to M2Ys4U mate, nice one :) :)

I'm waiting to hear what MS have to say on the matter now... hopefully we won't have to wait too long!!

Damn Micro$oft... Although the picket was quite pointless and laughable.. :/ High probability that no one knew what Auto-Patcher was, plus the UK office?... Oh..kay... Now if you really want to make an impression, picket infront of the Redmond office.

well I'm sorry I live in Reading and not Redmond

Anyways, the idea was that it would be a laugh

[soldier1st]

ap saved me too many times,damn u ms for taking something good away from us,you dont own us but it sure as hell feels like it,this will force alot of consider linux or something else,ms servers suck as they get bogged down and during that time your vulnerable to viruses and exploits.

[mike105]

Goodbye Microsoft!!

Hello OSX!!!!!

[+theblazingangel MVC]

that was brilliant M2ys4U :laugh:

[Dragon5150]

Seems interesting that this co-insides with the news of SP3 coming out and just being a security roll up.

[cork1958]

No big deal.

It seems Lunarsoft has just published an article about why AutoPatcher got a takedown notice. I'll included both links since there is another post on the frontpage about AutoPatcher.

That doesn't quite seem right considering they'd been allowed to do this for four years. Those EULAs haven't changed for that entire time so why would Microsoft care now?
