MS-DEFCON 2: Deferring April
Posted on April 7, 2022 at 02:45 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the ForumsISSUE 19.14.2 • 2022-04-07 By Susan Bradley
Don’t let April showers rain on your PCs.
I love April. It’s the end of the busy tax season at the office, and it’s spring where I live — the tulips are in bloom. But what I don’t love is updates disrupting my business before the end of the busy season. So I urge you to do what I do at the office: defer those updates.
Anyone can read the full Plus Alert (19.14.2, 2022-04-07).
