WMF Hotfix compatibility

I plan on rolling this patch out to my organizaton and wanted to know if this
patch will co-exist with the future MS patch slated to be released on the
10th? Will this need to be uninstalled before the MS patch is applied?
Also, I haven't had any issues with this patch on any of my test machines so
far - am I correct in saying that if I did I could un-install it via the Add
or Delete Programs on the Control Panel (I see it there once it's applied).

Microsoft does not recommended installing any
patches obtained through third-party sources.
You need to wait until Microsoft releases
their official patch next Tuesday.

Doug;
Since any patch installed is a 3rd party patch, you should check with the
source for any details.
Otherwise by all means uninstall it through Add/Remove Programs followed by
a reboot before installing Microsoft's patch.
