GeneralEdge on 7 Pin

See title--I alluded to this last week. Edge 109 was supposed to be the last version of Edge to run on Windows 7.

So yesterday was Patch Tuesday, and I was a bit surprised to see Edge (now 110) still being offered by Windows Update on my Win7 VM as part of yesterday's new releases. I let it download...and fails to install - no surprise. The installer probably has a dependency check and at least it does the right thing.

But why is it showing up there at all, if it's been known and planned and announced to such fanfare? You'd think this is one of the first things they would've made sure works as expected...It should be a simple exercise for the people in charge of putting together patches who should have a high level of competency for this sort of thing by now. Or do they let the interns manage the patches?

When MS talks a big game about AI and ChatGPT and all that nonsense I never really believed in, this is exactly the example I always come back to - until they can sort out how to do basic things like patching correctly, they shouldn't even try to pretend they have the know-how to make a so-called AI. Solve the easy things first.

Or maybe they can use their fancy AI to sort it out for them. Would you trust it to do a better job than the Windows Updates team, and let it loose and in charge of patching your fleet of machines?
