When are these updates going to resume?
I am guessing Microsoft will be releasing another ISO?
New coders attack old code with bright idea; either there's no regression testing schedule, or it's been revised or rewritten. MS lost swathes of testers passing that back into the development team. Terrible idea.What I fail to understand is HOW updates break pre-existing behaviour.
MS's test requirements for Windows could be massive given the range of compatibility issues, devices, drivers, programs; without a cast iron spec to work to, rigidly adhered to by all, you'd be sunk.
I suspect that unless MS revises its development process significantly we'll see much more of the same.

Simple -- it's called REGRESSION -- often forgotten in development testing or rollout of updates -- but sometimes fixing another problem or adding a "feature" can cause a previous component to fail -- so many cases I've seen in I.T areas where even the testing scripts don't take account of regression problems - and when these bite - they can bite big and are horrible to fix as you then have to redo all the subsequent changes to see if anything else is broken.
