To those wondering if MS does QA anymore because you've seen one or two minor issues:
how much QA should they do to verify the millions of different hardware and software combinations out there won't have some edge case behavior?
You want them to track your privacy settings so they can be applied. Oh but then they are tracking us!
Cause everyone here works at a company that gets their code right every time, I'm sure
- manarth 10y ago> "You want them to track your privacy settings so they can be applied. Oh but then they are tracking us!" The privacy settings do not need to be transmitted back to Microsoft. At the start of the upgrade, the installer could read the current settings, then reapply those once the install was complete. No privacy-infringing tracking required.
- kbhn 10y ago"You want them to track your privacy settings so they can be applied. Oh but then they are tracking us!" This argument doesn't hold up. Privacy settings can be stored locally, which requires no tracking. The problem arises when those privacy settings aren't correctly applied or remembered between updates.

They cut down on QA after Windows 7 (see laying off test engineers and laying the burden onto the primary development engineers)
