> if it's really an issue with the underlying hardware itself, a more technical user base would be able to trace the issue to the actual hardware, rather than going straight to social media with "ZOMG windows update bricked my PC!" So what you are saying is that users went "ZOMG windows update bricked my PC!" And that prompted the article? > Because putting in a patch doesn't imply you're at fault If you designed a system for certain range of hardware, your latest update broke that design and you had to go back and put a patch, I'd say it's pretty much Microsoft at fault here, even though your comment is right

>So what you are saying is that users went "ZOMG windows update bricked my PC!" And that prompted the article? Most tech "journalism" is basically regurgitating stuff from reddit/twitter/other tech sites, so yes. >If you designed a system for certain range of hardware, your latest update broke that design and you had to go back and put a patch, I'd say it's pretty much Microsoft at fault here, even though your comment is right So there's no accounting for which party broke the spec? Whoever touched it last is at fault?
