Shalom, Kornfeld,
That KB is the trojan horse that will automatically download Win 10 to your machine even if you have not chosen to install Win 10.

I know - after all the reports I saw I memorized it's number by heart 
That's why I found the 'description' so 'funny'...

It will install Linux on your machine?

Perhaps it won't, but I will. I'm ditching Windows after MS's nonsense.

Which particular nonsense?
And who to go to? Apple for their nonsense, Google for their nonsense or Linus for his nonsense?
The choices!

With all the difficulties I've been having trying to recover my Itunes music library, I discovered a great number of similarities between the Itunes program and Microsoft Edge. Did Microsoft hire former staff from Apple?
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

Yeah, I switch to linux (Mint Cinnamon) for my laptop after running 10 for a number of weeks. Since I don't game or Photoshop on my laptop, everything is working great. All my normal applications work just fine (Firefox, Thunderbird, Libre Office, etc). My main machine though will stay windows, linux gaming isn't there yet (getting better though) and Gimp sucks compared to Photoshop.

Same here. Mint-Cinnamon; lightning fast, stable, just works. As soon as I find a replacement for Ditto, it'll be perfect.
I only keep a win10 for .Net development, which even may be replaced by Mono sometime in the future.

Strange or not, I had got the Windows 10 download into my SSD which was terrible as it took a lot of space, but, now that I've installed all the updates (important and optional) it has disappeared again. I still have the Get Windows 10 icon near the clock, but...

I've had Microsoft try to install this trojan multiple times. This is why I double check the information on MSDN. When all they say is some generic BS about what the update is, I figure it's not important enough to install.
I've intercepted it from getting installed to the point where I'm ready to disable Windows Update all together. Thankfully I have it set up to manual mode.

This POS completely hangs my father's computer -> you cannot ignore the update for an indefinite amount of time (because it is categorized as "critical"  ), and when it installs, it fails. I have not found any workaround for the moment.

A harsh one I hope - we have to make sure, such cases are not repeated!

... when the cat got belled
|
|
|
|
|
Strangely, it seems cat bells don't work - one of ours had 13 bells at one point, and it didn't even slow him down - apparently, prey don't associate "bell ringing" with "predator" until it's far too late to pass on the information to their descendants...

I can imagine baby rodents shouting "Santa's here!" and scurrying out to meet him.
I also think that if ever I was in charge of caring for a cat, I'd call it "Belling".

According the - not official/final - results of the weekly poll more than 50% of developers find programming more than 'rarely frustrating'...
So why to do it?
