Updating Windows has turned into a bad joke. I could install three Linux distributions in once it requires me to produce a single serious Home windows improve. And, when I’m finished with the Linux installations, I understand they’ll work. With Home windows? You’re using your computer’s life in the hands with a good Patch Tuesday security upgrade.

As ComputerWorld‘s resident Home windows wizard Woody Leonhardt highlights, unless you desire to be an unpaid Windows beta tester, in no way let Windows patch one’s body automatically. For a lot more than 3 years now, upgrading Windows has just meant asking for trouble.
