As is completely wrecking your computer and losing all your data,

Is what Microsoft updates excels at

Oddly, not something I've ever had a problem with. Do you unplug your
computer while its updating?


You've not been around enough!

What was the recent one?

There've been some more recently.

Don't you remember Microsoft Notworks? Windows (ok older version)
just hanging at around 3pm in offices because memory leaks used up all
available RAM. Windows Update stopped SQL server from running - that
was fun with an office full of people trying to run the office based
SQL management system. Or was it the other way around, SQL server
updated stopped Windows server? Doesn't matter really.

When was it they promised to start testing again before releasing
updates?

How about the Win10 roll-out? Burnt up machines on the fly. What
about those poacher hunters in Africa. All running some Windows
laptops and used all their funding on download costs over expensive
satellite links and in the meantime lost track of the poachers.

Still, they are matched by aircraft software engineers who think Miss
= young girl, ie less heavy than a Mrs or Ms and then the crew wonder
whiy the dialled in take off power is a bit low.
