    Can anyone remember a Microsoft update in the last few years that wasn’t causing crashes and failures?

      Like, most of them? It’s an experimental channel and the amount of overall updates dwarfs those that do the funny, yadda-yadda. The funnier thing though is they have a total grip on everything, all resources and brains, dedicated testers, and therefore have no reason to fail at all. Yet, the stability of Windows is worse than on popular Linux distros even when it doesn’t BSOD.

      That whole company will go the way of Intel. Imagine having a virtual monopoly on a colossal market and becoming this greedy and complacent.

          Intel was an order of magnitude bigger than AMD just ten years ago. There’s nothing extraordinary about big players falling apart out of indolence.
