The performance is crawling and we are resorting to copying images locally in order to work. Our entire workflow is messed up and we're spending 4/5 of work time, swapping images around. And we can not revert workstations to previous builds either because we need the latest WDK.
Just because the majority of Windows users do not notice the underlying problem, it doesn't mean this should not have been fixed yesterday. Do we really have to contact every major tech news outlet site informing them of the situation so this gains publicity and traction before Microsoft prioritizes a hotfix?
