I love how Microsoft promised to cut down on mandatory updates with K2, and then decided to push several more months' worth of mandatory, massive, device-breaking updates before K2 even starts. They shouldn't have made the announcement until they were ready to commit.
Edit: the K2 promise was March 20.
The K2 results are "any day now." Allegedly some people can already ~~permanently disable~~ keep re-pausing Windows updates. So little so late.
They should print this in bronze and mount it in their boardroom because the present day reputation of Microsoft is that releasing half baked shit that they need to abandon or rebrand later is all that they do.
I would pin that on a lot of companies' boardrooms
