25+ years of Windows updates, and still these issues keep happening :(

  From what I've seen, just about every OS has the same issues with updates nowadays. If you think about it, if an update reaches 1.000.000 users, and 0.1% percent of them have an issue with it, that's 1.000 people who have to waste hours getting their system back up (and potentially recover lost data, if it's even possible).

    What other OS has shipped update bugs that deleted user data for the last three years in a row?

    Yes, but MS has three decades of experience and unlimited resources. You'd expect they have better setup to catch regression bugs.

    Debian doesn't have problems like this despite being mainly built by volunteers and living off donations.
