What a complete and utter mess these patches are. Seriously, does Microsoft just have zero pride for anything they do anymore? Are they even trying? Even their precious cloud service OneDrive is pretty awful based on what I’ve read about it and what people are saying about it. It’s like MS is committing suicide in the public eye for all to see. I just don’t get it. How is Microsoft not embarrassed enough by all this to change their tune? There’s tons of things going wrong with every batch of patches and they just keep churning them out. What’s even more surprising is there are still MS fanboys on here (not many) who still rush to their defense when MS is obviously wrong in what they are doing and how they are doing it.

On top of that, the blocking of updates for those using certain processors is ludicrous and seems to be a breach of their agreement with customers regarding Win7 support. Of course, for some of us, not being able to patch is really more of a feature and most of us have images of our systems that will last indefinitely perhaps over many different machines’ lifespans. People will find a foolproof way around it anyways just as people always do with unpopular changes and apparent breach of contract to products they paid money for.

I just can’t believe that any self-respecting company would be doing this to themselves in such a public way. What is going on at Microsoft? Seriously…

“I just can’t believe that any self-respecting company would be doing this to themselves in such a public way.

Customers ultimately pay the bills and if customers stop paying they are out of business. One key rule in any business never give a customer a reason to even consider leaving.

MSBA uses WU engine, so it will be affected with the CPU block in security-only update
