What to Make of All This?

Well, it certainly seems to becoming the norm that Microsoft’s updates are unreliable, to say the least. Like I said, is anyone that surprised to read headlines like Windows 10 Pro is downgrading? I remember being more than happy to have automatic updates turned on in the good ol’ days, and not thinking twice about it. Those days are well and truly gone. I read in a forum thread that it is all the fault of Bill Gates leaving the company, but I think this is a little unfair and simplistic. Personally, I think the problem is a culture where shareholders come before customers (I sound like my Dad). It seems that companies are using some sort of equation. Shareholders get as much money as possible PLUS only annoy a small amount of customers (considering most of those annoyed customers won’t move to another OS) EQUALS companies don’t care about customers. Of course, this isn’t just a Microsoft issue; most companies seem to be using this formula. Anyway, it would seem that this particular problem has been sorted, which is good news for users. Whether this latest mess will blow over for Microsoft so quickly is not yet apparent. Has Microsoft’s latest upgrade mess affected you? Let us know in the comments below. RELATED POSTS TO CHECK OUT:
