Yes, but this whole article is about saving costs in a very large enterprise. So...

I thought you were referring to the article, not your own personal use.

Although I do have Windows 10, I am on the Insider's Preview on my personal machine, and it updates a LOT. It's almost annoying, but I did promise to help evaluate it—including the update process. I HAVE complained vigorously, with lots of succinct input, when it goes wrong, etc., so they are getting the feedback.

The idea of these Windows 10 updates is to incrementally and continuously improve the product. MSFT calls that Windows as a Service, so they claim there will never be a Windows 11, 12, 13, etc., as if you own this license, over the months and years improvements and changes will be made to the OS rather than have to buy an upgrade.

Honestly I have my doubts, but am willing to see it through. I think including the various component manufacturer's drivers in the updates is a bad idea. There's just too many; tens of thousands, and when combined, one fix can have a detrimental effect on other drivers being updated simultaneously. I do think after several BAD issues with that this year, they're coming round on it.

Thank you. I see your angle now.

I was responding to a poster who wondered if the Mac OS was easy to use...and I made a passing reference to Parallels.

Everyone of my clients on Windows 10 has had an update FORCED down that has blown-out their printer connection.

The first was my wife and her four printers. I had to scan documents on her printer from my Mac/Windows 7 machine and email them to her, three floors away. She’s a Real Estate Broker/Owner and is beginning to dislike her Win 10 machine...

Then several other Brokers called with similar issues.

Tomorrow I head to a Developers office as they had the update on Monday and the main employee cannot scan anymore - sort of an issue when we have 30 lots closing in the next week or two.

Keep up the good work, I have been enjoying your posts on this thread!
