from the well-recommended dept.

The Register is reporting that Microsoft recommends that you NOT install the recommended .NET Framework 4.7 update:

Earlier this month, Microsoft gave the world .NET Framework 4.7 and urged users to install it for the usual reasons: more fun bits to play with and a security improvements.

But two days later the company urged Exchange users not to install it ASAP, because it hadn't validated it yet. Last Friday - 10 days after the launch of the new code - it reminded users of Lync and Skype for Business not to install it either.

[...] "We are in the process of validating Exchange Server on the .NET Framework 4.7, but the work is not yet complete".

While that validation is happening, "please delay this particular .NET update on your Exchange servers".

If you followed the original recommendation and installed the framework, and now wish to follow their new recommendation, then Microsoft recommends you follow these instructions to roll it back.

    mission-critical Windows-only software package

    Test the software package, to see if it runs under wine. You may be pleasantly surprised.

    My take on this is that if there is no Linux version of a program or a Windows version that runs under wine, then there is NO such program, period.
