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.

Quite right! We should do everything in DOSKEY.
If 62k isn't enough space for all the commands you need to execute, then you just invoke another instance.

So yesterday I closed my laptop with "update and shutdown".
This morning it started with something like "updates being installed" and it said:
"This will take a while"
notice the subtle change from "This may take a while". I can kinda appreciate the honesty. Now, my laptop is a brand new i7, 16Gb, SSD machine, so quite fast. Well it took 30 freakin' minutes to get it updated. (notice that it takes like 20-30 minuted to do a clean install).
So I finally get to my login screen, happy with the ordeal being over, enter my biometric fingerscan only to be greeted by yet other screens saying things like "Hi", "We updated your PC", "We're actually not quite done yet"  (there goes the aforementioned honesty) all the while the screen is blinking almost giving one a (epileptic) seizure.
Finally, really finally, I'm allowed access to my desktop and a message in the bottom right corner appears: "Updates where installed, click this message for more information". So curious, what all the fuss was about, (it MUST be a major update, right?) I click the message. I'm greeted with the Windows 10 control panel window (Update History). "No updates have been installed yet."
 F****[insert words and icons that violate KSS rule]****
While m$ did some significant work on stability and security, there main features "usability", "user-friendly", ... is going down the drain fast.

The problem is that it also erases the log of any updates to other Microsoft software that you may have installed (e.g. updates to Office, etc.)

I can't see the problem. The computer belongs to Microsoft and the important data already uploaded to their servers. All the other are cleared as irrelevant!

I'm not entirely sure the Sarcasm icon is fully applicable in this case.

Cynical maybe ?

I've read that when a heart transplant is done, the donor's emotions and feelings also come to the donee*.
* Not sure whether this is scientifically proven, but I've read this in an article by a medical doctor.

Not one of those. The writer was more into neurology and psychiatry.

Unlikely but perhaps I am missing your irony.

What I meant was that upon a heart transplant, it has been observed that the nature of a person changes, in that some emotions/feelings get more expressed; and these emotions/feelings were found to be present in the donor. So, the transplanted heart also transplants across some personality traits of the donor. Not always, though.
