I've been wondering the same, then wondering: is it possible that they did do a staged rollout, but the cadence was insufficient? The only way for them to receive feedback would be out of band, so they might not have budgeted for the reaction time they should expect.
- another-dave 2y agoThey'd also have feedback in the sense of "an update was pushed out and none of the updated machines have given us an ACK of 'health: OK' after rebooting".
- noduerme 2y agoGiven the fact that the software itself allows basically unfettered remote access to the "endpoint" machines it's installed on, one would think they'd get more than just an ACK when one boots up. But yeah, that would be a reasonably low bar to check on a few dozen devices before bricking everything in the world.
- notepad0x90 2y agoit was a data/content update, not code, so more than likely it may not crash immediately. how long would the test vm/container wait before it gives the green light on uptime? The buggy code would have to process it after some time/trigger and other factors for the bsod to show. They may have not done any testing at all because they were adding a named pipe to be monitored, kind of like adding a domain or ip to be monitored.
