- oculusthrift 8y agoisn’t that how most companies launch products now adays? test it on 1 pct of users before full launch?
- setr 8y agoIsn't that the point of nightly/beta opt-in builds? Shipping to 1% of stable would be more for testing scale-handling, whether people like it, etc, but the software itself should be relatively stable at that point
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoYes, the modern practice is to treat customers as cattle.
- lozenge 8y agoThe issue is picking the users that are manually checking for updates. This used to be a precaution people applied onto their system, now it can actually make your system less stable.
- boznz 8y agoNothing Changed from Windows XP then.
- neilalexander 8y agoIt seems Microsoft is the new Google. Everything is perpetually beta.
- DrScump 8y agoI check for updates manually when I'm on fast, unmetered WiFi but will next be on slower or metered service, given Microsoft's penchant for huge downloads in the background. I shouldn't be punished for that.
- newen 8y agoI actually disabled all updates a while back because of stability and driver issues when I had auto updates on. Things are a lot better now and I don't have to worry about Windows restarting on me while I'm busy working. Probably will just do updates every few months or something like that. This makes me think I made the right decision haha.
- kdtsh 8y agoThe worst thing I’ve noticed is, when you disable updates on windows 10, you’re notified that you can disable for 30 days, and then if you want to disable it again, you have to do updates first. Keeping your machine updated is a good idea and all but this is pretty insulting ...
- newen 8y agoI installed the O&O ShutUp program, which lets you disable updates indefinitely.
