Ouch. Reinstalling Windows 10 again? By 2020, a 'cloud download' may be all you need

Re: Noop

I don’t entirely get this. Wouldn’t it be possible to boot a minimal generic keyboard/wifi/GUI stack, inventory/probe the installed hardware and then automatically do the equivalent of an apt-get to a MS repo of manufacturer-sourced drivers?

Works for Linux too. Apple controlling the stack isn’t a prereq for solid system engineering and I’m tired of that as a MS get out of jail card.

Vendors aren’t exactly always easy to find your way around. Plus, ASUS got pwned & Lenovo’s little cert malware...
