Markus,

What would stop us in finding a solution in that? You're way too negative on that. Surely we can find a way to bind forces and get a solution to this problem. We could even make an arrangement with one company making hotfixes publically for us. We could open a discussion with MicroSoft to see what we can do, but the important thing is that the door is not closed.
