Don't blame Microsoft. They gave you the patch; it's your responsibility to use it.

Take a look at M$ own best practices for applying hotfixes:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/t
echnet/security/bestprac/bpsp.asp

4th bullet point under General Best Practices, and I quote
"Service packs and hotfixes must be tested on a representative non-production environment prior to being deployed to production. This will help to gauge the impact of such changes"

Since you seem to tow the M$ line, why didn't you recommend testing first?

Just because the Hotfix is out doesn't mean you should leap before you look, even M$ seems to know this.
