The 2007 disaster regarding about updates and patches

Important note from the developers: As listed, we are trying as much as possible to patch the bug which was found in the "Pre-Hybrid" kernel causing the operating systems on about 31 Million computers and 1 Million phones, to glitch out and DOS stops working/glitching on the desktop and finally the date limit stops working after December 31, 2006. For anybody who had bought a copy of these versions of the operating system as listed below, will receive a full refund as this was our mistake for letting an unstable ground run out of our doors.

What it means right now: We are sorry. This wasn't suppose to happen further. But, for the moment if you don't like want you see you can revert back to Windows 5 since the support will be extended to March 19, 2007 from Windows 5.1 and down. Which means you have the time to upgrade as Windows 6 will be coming very shortly for the desktop and laptop users. For, the embedded users hold on Microsoft 6 Embedded will be coming very soon as well.

But, it does still mean that you can still use these affected products until March 19, 2007 since this patch extends the date limit from December 31, 2006 to March 19, 2007 and fixes the glitching of the desktop and finally DOS isn't fixed but, we will promise you that we'll add DOS mode back in Windows 6 and Microsoft 6 Embedded very soon.
