Yeah, polarization is peaked. Time for sunglasses. ?
This is not the ideal solution. Other ones were there. It is a "backup" of their previous decision that System restore would be taken away to *free up space*. If this that come in to replace Sys restore, then fine.
It did not. They had a gap thus "to fix the problems" is less a correct statement but "to fix *their* problems" is better. They made this mess, now are having to correct for it (by not having a proper cache location, cache management, rollback management, update management etc etc).
Forced update to protect us all from the evils? Yeah. So guess how many times my PC has been hacked? Guess how many times a Windows update has failed (any version of windows).
But yeah, if forced updates is how we are going, then I'll just skip to an OS that teaches and trusts me to set a time and place to do it. MS could block your net use until you updated. Block your usb/cd use until you updated.
But nope, they force the update, thus it's not a vaccine. It's a service "upgrade" to the latest cash cow.
