Yep, thrilled to report that Microsoft have managed to release an update that crashes my display every single time the auto-update function attempts to install it. So now the auto-update function is turned off. This means when something I *do* need to stop a windows exploit hacking my machine comes along, that *won't* get installed and my system will no doubt die horribly whilst offering me some cheap Viagra. How idiotic is that?
Mind you, I shouldn't be surprised I guess. Let's face it, Windows has never been what you'd call a friendly operating system that invites you in for a cup of tea and a biscuit whilst it does something useful. It's more like a description I recently heard being applied to a certain nation's foreign policy: kiss my **** or I'll smash your face in.
BTW, if you think I'm kidding, try googling "windows update display crash". Returns? 792,000. And the energy used to run that search probably took half the polar caps with it. Microsoft may as well just burn some peat and tyres in their HQ's car park all day and release a slightly better update process. It'd be easier on the environment in the long run.
Roll on Chrome OS machines. Maybe.
