Yeah, that one bit me too. I think we ALL should submit invoices for our time wasted on this. It might open their eyes! But I won't hold my breath that they'll be more considerate of the impact of their "updates".
Plenty of grief here today with the SMB2 thing (we advised sites to disable SMB2 when Vista came out). Still 300 or so legacy sites running our old xBase software.
Our support centre in Portugal (who are actually pretty good) aren't trained in the old version. There are only 2 guys here left that understand xBase. One has moved into management. Guess who has to support this?
Oh yeah, the Microsoft HTTPS/XML object (forget the name) doesn't support TLS 1.1/1.2 on Windows 7. One of our web booking providers is switching off older TLS versions tonight.
They've had plenty of notice and the new version came out in 2011. Not my problem.
