I have worked here for over 20 years, and 10 for the company that was bought by this one, and never had a hand-written company paycheck before last week. Tells you how much Microsoft is inserted into businesses all over the world. I haven’t heard if any Apple-Based systems were affected............. ...
Only reasonably recent versions of Windows were affected.
No impact whatsoever on Linux or MacOS.
And no impact on REALLY OLD Windows. See Southwest Airlines, who kept running all their flights just fine:
...because their critical systems run on Windows 3.1 and Windows 95That's true.
Yep, MS is a disappointing outfit. I tried to discontinue a paid subscription that had my OUTLOOK email address. The budding geniuses in Seattle flagged the password reset email as being from an unfamiliar source.
Yikes, I was in a Catch-22 doom loop. I could not get into my account to terminate the automatic billing.
