Much has been written about feature leads in agile teams. They are the team members whose job it is to be the customer proxy for a feature, defining what is important to the customer and owning implementation end-to-end. It's not like they have anything else to do, right?

Some Windows 7 and 8 users would rather chance a malware infection than an involuntary Windows 10 upgrade. You get your choice of malware, or malware

At least none that have been detected

Critical Updates - breaking things since their invention.
I ALWAYS keep them disabled since they only created problems, instabilities and loss of time.

I set Windows Crapdate to NOT "give me recommended updates like I get important updates". This way, I can essentially ignore the important ones (which are essentially the security updates), and check the recommended updates one at a time to make sure they're not Win10-related. It's a pain, but even though I mark them as hidden, they keep coming back.
Beyond all that, I thought MS was going to stop doing that at the end of May (or was it June?).

I think the next stage will be that Microsoft break into your house in the middle of the night and force you to upgrade at gun point.

I've had no problem with Windows 10 except on my home system. It's possible it was the hard drive, which I've since replaced with an SSD, but I have suspicions that there may be other issues (due to overheating issues that have since been resolved, which which may have left damage.) I'm waiting for Kaby Lake to build a new system, which will have Windows 10 on it.

European countries are the most affected, but detections have also been recorded in the United States and Canada At least the loss of Flash got them to learn a new language

I've got another theory, all the deviations from the mean update rate on that graph are just noise caused by trying to sample at too narrow of data bins. (The same is true of the clickbait techpress's hyperventilating over data from the same source claiming that Browser X's market share gaining 0.4% this month when it only gained 0.1% last month, and wondering what magical event happened to drive the larger shift.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Have you ever seen a team perform so great that you wanted to join it? If you examine the values of such a team, you may discover a perfect balance of orientation on people and results. Definitely yoga. And maybe a little aquacise.

We occasionally have students ask for help on software, “My software is perfect, but it doesn’t work!” Your software is never perfect. My own software is never perfect. "The perfect is the enemy of the good"
|
|
|
|
|
All my software has a certain degree of perfection.
|
|
|
|
|
Even if my software is 'perfect', the underlying Operating System isn't.

All the myths teach us how dangerous it is when mere mortals aspire to perfection: that is when the gods put their foot down, and crushing sole stomps soul.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Why you need to make it perfect ? If you do, client don't need you. You only ought to make it work!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
