Microsoft reacted immediately and provided a patch which can be downloaded via the Windows update function.

He then went on to write elsewhere, such as for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again.
