Just need some clarification.
The SNP has caused a lot of grief, not the update which disables it, correct?

 Microsoft just released an "update" which basically disables the
Scalable Network Pack.  Apparently, it's caused quite a lot of grief.

 One has to wonder how something that unreliable got through testing.
 Yah, I know the fault lies partly with Broadcom's driver design, but
drivers don't exist in a vacuum.  And what, Microsoft never tested SNP
on a Dell server?  Sheesh.
