No surprise.

And all B. Gates can think of is more vaccines to kill mankind with.

Borking of grub.

Sounds like something Lewis Carroll would write.

I use W7 and W10, and my older system doesn’t use Secure Boot, so this won’t affect me or my dual boots with Linux, but still, it just goes to show how Gates and Microsoft wants to dominate everything. I’m almost to the point where I will not even need Windows so when that time comes, I’ll be solely Linux. Forget Gates.

After the Windows update was applied, an untold number of Windows’ dual booters were unable to boot Linux, but instead were served the scary and cryptic error message: “Something has gone seriously wrong.”

Truth in advertising (unintentional)

"...Last week it became clear to me that although Microsoft has “loved” Linux for more than a decade now,...

Well more than a decade. How long did they use Linux file servers and web servers?

And that abortion they call "User Access Control" (UAC) is a ham-fisted attempt to implement the same level of easy, sophisticated file-level security *NIX has had since forever.

Remember WinNT, when the file system security was such crap that you could block user access to a directory, but if you knew the absolute path to any file in that directory, you still could copy/edit/delete it?

UAC was introduced in Vista (pardon my French) and four generations later, it's still as big a disaster in Win10. That's the biggest reason the only Windows in my house is Win10 Ameliorated. It was built without UAC (or Cortana, Guardian, authenticity verification, etc) in the installation media.
