By sneaking in a Firefox extension for their .NET platform in the latest critical update. The Windows Update feature should be for Windows, no? "Features" that affect other non-Microsoft products should be introduced via that product's framework; Firefox happens to have a very good update and plugin platform that would have worked just fine. The biggest problem is if you try to uninstall the plugin. According to the article, you have to manually alter the registry or risk corrupting your installation of Windows, making it unable to even *boot up*. Thanks, Redmond. You guys really suck.
