Re: And that ...
While I sit here, never having had a single bricked/borked/broken/buggered/bollocksed Win device caused by an update IN NEARLY THIRTY YEARS.
I wouldn't have either if I'd stuck with MS-DOS (if I trace 30 years back in their product line). Isn't it time you let go of GEM?
I too have no further worries about such a problem for a good 6 years now, because I no longer use anything made by Microsoft. Life is good.
