Microsoft released an update to the Windows Update function itself that caused problems on some user's systems, after which the company mistakenly deployed a Skype update over its Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). There were security concerns over over the new tab thumbnail feature in Firefox 13 as a major update, 14.0, to the Android version of the open source web browser arrived. HP worked with the community to publish the final component required to publish an open source version of webOS for the TouchPad Tablet, and the Free Software Foundation took offense when Microsoft's reputation database listed donate.fsf.org as a gambling site.
