If it "fixes" your problem, then you didn't fix you problem you identified it. It's another symptom of a bloated industry that can't or won't innovate, and I think it's more "won't" than "can't."

For example, we still can't patch running Windows, and most of the information technology professionals I know are still convinced it's impossible. Billions upon billions of dollars in time have been lost, probably enough man hours to send men to mars several times over.

Yet, you can just buy a version of Windows Server that already does it. It's not only possible, they already have the code. They just don't care enough to integrated it into the product most people use.
