I am surprised that nobody has ever created a cartoon character “Patch Tuesday” for Microsquish.
Yup, mine arrived around 3pm eastern. No problems although I could swear there was a 2010 Word 64 bit update buyt when I looked, briefly, I saw only Office. I’ll check again in the morning. I usually get minor updates overnight
.
How about recycling "Clippy"?
LOL!
I bought a new Toshiba Win10 laptop 4 weeks ago as a back up for my Acer Chromebook 15, to use the Toshiba’s ethernet connection for financial work, for my word processing/spreadsheets and some stand alone stuff.
At first the Toshiba was about as fast as my Chrome book to get on line.
It has gotten slower each day. I get to look at the damn blue circle about as long as with my old deceased HP Win 7, which is now at a recycle place.
Our family IT guy recommended a connector for my RJ Ethernet, and it plugs into a USB 3.0 slot on my Chromebook.
It works, and I connect my Chromebook to my new View Sonic with a HDMI cable and use a USB wireless keyboard and mouse to have a fast and secure ethernet desktop with my Chromebook.
I prefer the 30+ approach. We just patched last month’s stuff this morning.
Congratulations! You have a laptop with an operating system designed by a company whose prime directive is to catalog every last thing about your life.
If anyone is using a device designed by Google (i.e. Android phone, Chromebook, Chromcast), you’re freely providing your information to “the cloud.” Enjoy!
MS doesn’t do that?
MS gives you control. Doesn’t matter what you do in a Google OS, your data is theirs to sell. It’s even in their product EULAs.
Wise choice, assuming none of the patches are zero-day. I often end up doing that too, though typically more through procrastination or laziness, than a conscious decision to wait.
If our IT Security team deems a 0-day risky enough, we’ll patch it right away.
MS gives access to our data to criminal hackers around the world in spite of basically forcing us to use worthless and expensive programs to protect us for a week or so.
Then, they allow dangerous and bad bloatware to be on 99.99% of most MS computers we buy.
Save your time and preach the MS bs to the MS cult and those dumb enough to think MS is helping to protect them. I bought my last MS crapware pc this past September.
That’s fine Dave. You believe in your cult, I’ll believe in mine, but for the love of God don’t drop into Microsoft-based threads and spew your bullshit about how bad MS is. I’ve been a Microsoft engineer for 20+ years and while there are faults out of Redmond, I’d take them over the government-funded boffins at Google or Apple any day.
Are you daft, Dave? Seriously? My primary complaint is that you’re one of those fervent anti-MS posters who find it necessary to jump into a thread about Microsoft simply to bash them. You’re adding nothing substantive to the conversation!
As far as your “insights,” the facts are completely contrary to what you’ve stated, sir. Microsoft owns over 75% of the desktop market around the world. SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT! That’s a lot more than your prognostications lend credence. People have been predicting Microsoft’s demise since Windows 95, yet they continue on.
I’m not bashing Linux-based operating systems. I use them myself. I’m saying that if you think that your information is secure in a Google operating system, you’re a fool. But then, I’m half your age and have a lot more concern over my data in the long term. God bless you sir, and God speed in your years of computing.
Adios and have fun in the upcoming decade.
Is it actually that low? I thought MS was up around 90% in the US, and only slightly lower elsewhere. Has OS X actually made that much of an inroad? I thought they were at like 8%. Linux sure ain't doing it on the desktop, that's less than 2% last I heard. OS/2? Chrome OS? Some sleeper non-MS OS I'm not aware of? What's silently eating up 15% of the desktop market?
I must not understand...
