One more reason to keep a backup image...
Agreed.
You don't need a image, all you need to do is uninstall it via Programs and Features. I have this update on both pc's and have had no problems though.
If you're in a reboot loop like the article mentions, and can't get into the OS, an image makes for a quick(ish) solution. If you can get to the workaround (I did see mention of SafeMode in the support page, so that would hopefully cover most people), then of course that would be quicker. Either way, backups are a very good thing. Just knowing that these sort of errors are possible makes me glad I have backups.
You can access programs & features via safe mode and if Safe mode is affected by the update, system restore will have a restore point before the update. Provided you have it turned on of course. One good thing for System restore, rolling back behind bodged updates.
Ah cool - I've not had to play with safe mode so far. Odd that it has a different name there than in normal mode (which is just called "Uninstall a program").
Indeed happened when I patched my dads Windows 7 machine but was ok on my Win 8.

It depends on which view you use - regular view shows as Kalniel sees, if you have it in any other view (change by selecting View By and changing it to something else) it shows as Programs and Features.
EDIT: seems I took rather too long before posting my reply
