I love some of their products: Excel is a wonderful spreadsheet, VS is the best IDE going.
But ... I just wish they would do three things: Fix bugs instead of adding "features" nobody wants; Test the damn stuff properly before release rather than after; and listen to users when they say things MS doesn't want to hear, perhaps even admitting, "OK, that was a mistake, we'll scrap it and improve what did work"

Is there anything in particular you're curious about regarding the Fall update?
Regardless--that's what VMs are for. I've had one running for years now, off of an early Insiders version that must've gone through 20 different in-place upgrades by now. As they come close to release, new builds come out rather rapidly. Right now however, it's been a few weeks there's been anything new.

Not really. Maybe I'm just an early adopter.

You're braver than I am if you're willing to use this on an everyday machine. If it's a junker you don't mind rebuilding...then go right ahead...

I don't rebuild. I re-image. It takes 10 minutes tops.

Why do they call it Creator's Update? Is this some marketing jargon to speak to our inner child that wants to play with Legos, Tinker Toys, and Lincoln Logs?

Either way, I have something you can do for me. I found a micro-SD chip in the parking lot the other day; could you put it in your computer and tell me what's on it?

Some people might see it as "our" version of running with the bulls, so when you see footage of tourists flanked by stampeding bulls on the streets of Pamplona, what goes through your mind?

I knew it had to be a hardware issue. Software engineers don't make errors.

There you go, if they had just fired more I.T. staff then this wouldn't have happened.

So ... BA are saying "we are incompetent" not only to design a mission critical system that can cope with a single point of failure, but also too incompetent to include backups for mission critical systems, but worse: they design systems that once switched off take 24 hours to find the switch and flip it back down to "ON"?
I smell bad media reporting, and / or scapegoat detection with accompanying "deflect the blame from me!" subsystems.

I worked as a vendor supplying system monitoring software to another airline (in the US). They had a problem that meant they kept calling me at 3 am to come and fix a problem where everything kept resetting randomly between 2 and 3 in the morning! It turned out that a cleaner was unplugging a key power unit to plug in their vacuum cleaner. When done, he would plug it back in, so by the time I got there everything had just reset for no apparent reason. Ended up going early and staying all night to watch it... We found the culprit on the second night, and whom we strung up and disemboweled (in my mind). They wouldn't spring for UPS's for our monitoring PC's until then. Then they did and we had no further problems!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
