I agree to certain degree that it is how you treat the outliers. However 1) they are outliers for a reason: they happen to a very small subset of users. Its not as if every other person is having this error, that particular image was up-voted because it is a hilarious error to have not because it was happening to the majority of people. You can't plan for every eventuality which brings me to point 2) it would ludicrous to assume that every single issue is taken into account and that every install will go exactly as planned. With something as big as a new OS launch things are going to go wrong, that's just the way it works. If you can find me a company that has everything exactly perfect at launch with a product as big as Windows 10 with no errors I would be very impressed to see it.
I'm not trying to Microsoft "fan-boy" or come off in that manner, it's just silly to me that people are bashing Microsoft (or any company) for things not going PERFECTLY on launch day. It comes off as childish IMO.
- scott_karana 11y agoYeah, I agree with everything you said. I didn't agree with the tone of the article, but "Something happened" is a poor error message, and I feel bad for the devs who put so much work into an otherwise well-received launch to be stymied by their own coworker's uninformative error dialogues! ;)
