• Tell Microsoft what you think of their (greatly improved) update history pages

    Posted on March 28, 2019 at 08:05 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    When I originally saw this, I ignored it.

    Microsoft knows what I feel about the Windows update “experience.” In a nutshell: Way too many, poorly tested, utterly mis-managed, disastrous. Win10 1809  may finally be breaking the downward spiral, but it’s too early to tell.

    At Susan’s urging, I took another look at Dona’s request. The questionnaire isn’t about the infernal Windows update experience. Microsoft is asking questions about the Windows update history site. That’s a horse of a completely different color.

    Truth be told, I’m a huge fan of the massive improvements in patch documentation. In the past six months, Microsoft’s gone from obfuscation and dodging to something approaching openness and honesty. The lists of individual patches is a joke – there are so many of them that your scorecard needs a scorecard. But the update history pages are, suddenly, quite worthwhile.

    Your opinion may vary, of course, which is why I urge you to take the survey.
