I think that Microsoft will have to change their control-freak update methods. Pushing out the same update to millions of computers at once is a recipe for disaster. CrowdStrike made the initial mistake but the core of the problem is the mass updates all at once around the world. Big customers are going to demand it.
How about beta testing any updates with just a few customers?
Nah—that makes too much sense.
For a while. But remember big customers demanded it to start with. They wanted those vulnerability fixes NOW. And they didn’t want their users to be able to override it. Now they’ll probably change their tune again. But it will change back a year or two later.
