[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] FYI: Microsoft reportedly broke Windows 11 by injecting ads

[Carl Lazarus]

Mine too, at various places.  However, you do have to apply security updates fairly quickly these days.  That’s different than going to a major new version.

That was my guiding principle at Raytheon for decades. The one time I didn’t was when we got unique SW to generate test vectors (we really didn’t have an alternative, long story) and it was a major pain.

A colleague of mine from BNUG (Boston Network Users Group) passed this along.

Folks, 

 

Maybe the best mentor I had back in my mainframe days gave me some great and much

heeded advice. "Don't be the first to always try out the latest and greatest". Advice that 

made my career go a lot smoother. 

 

Figured I pass this along because I know how much everybody in BNUG just loves ads

being injected into their computers.
