YAY! They're going to stop breaking things!
Yes but sadly by not keeping them up to date.
Its like holding your hands over your eyes, and then cuz you cant see anything there is nothing there. / if a tree fall in the forest and no one is around to hear it, do it make a noise
Too many patches let's learn from this and drop the cadence. Nobody's gaining from the current circus, seems like codemonkeys are justifying their salaries with quantity and not quality.
SFAIK the clever brains from MS all left a while back, either through retirement, moving to new challenges, or out of despair during the reign of cpt dummy a few years back. They haven't had the best appeal for workers vs some of the other tech companies and seems to me have ended up with a load of eager but not top-bar folk who can only look at what other companies are doing and try to imitate it instead of doing their own thing. The cliches are myriad, but cutting off the branch you're sitting on is probably apt. A company failing to benefit from a dominant almost monopoly position and eroding its usp more and more with every release.Quote:

Who knows how many clinical staff or lab techs may get affected by the next equivalent of the February update that deleted or hid a lot of peoples' desktops?
The headline should read:
'Microsoft to pause buggy optional non-security updates for Windows 10'
Because users can't take it no more. That's why.
Those users with fewer win10 security updates or spyware are running much faster with fewer freezes and crashes.Quote:
