    Some customers of Members IT Group, a managed services provider (MSP) in Canada, have received this letter, despite not receiving VMware updates since their support contracts expired, CTO Dean Colpitts told Ars. One customer, he said, received a letter six days after their support contract expired.

    They will for sure push an automatic update after this and sue.

        Microsoft did label a Windows Server Upgrade accidentally as a security patch once, causing Servers to upgrade, thus requiring a new license
