To be fair there are several parts and Microsoft only has control over one of them.
1. Machine
2. Operating system.
3. Your updates to hardware and software.
Prior to this point you were relying on Microsoft to make it effort free. And expecting that thousands or tens of thousands of different platforms would work of which yours is one.
Now it is entirely up to you to both make sure updates occur and that your machine continues to work. Certainly be easier if Microsoft could individually support your machine but not very cost effective. There is probably one or more services in your local area that would charge you for the same service so one can see what the cost actually is.

You're not telling me anything I don't already know. I've been using Windows for nearly 30 years.
Updates generally work fine on most of my systems. They've also worked great on this one particular machine, in the past. But somewhere along the way, they've dropped the ball, and barely one month into a clean install, patches start failing again on the very first Patch Tuesday this instance of the OS has ever seen. They've done better, on this particular hardware combination, in the past - that's all I'm saying.

Is the pilot's name Richard, and is he very tall, by any chance?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Then it was something like his family crest? Maybe, but those pilots tend to be the short jockey type. I tried to sit in a Tornado [^] once and felt like a cork in a bottle.

When I was sat in the pilot's seat of a Concorde I noticed a distinct lack of headroom. Luckily, I didn't have to fly it. They must have used shorter pilots for them. I really miss the Concorde.

Why are people getting so worked up over an extra tall cowboy hat?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Why at all? Yes, it's juvenile, but no reason to get out the torches and pitchforks. Let him sweep the runway with a toothbrush. Twice, if it must be. Then he will have learned his lesson and there is no need to hang him.
