The dramatic reading is hilarious:

[Off Topic]

I'm still using Windows 7 on this machine and there are Windows Updates permanently waiting for my shutdown. One of these ended up causing me to spend 2 hours getting my machine back using safe mode and prayers.

I was recently locked out of my iPad Pro despite not entering an incorrect password. It told me to use iTunes to restore, despite the fact this iPad had never touched iTunes.

I was abroad, no laptop, and had to go to a (mini) Mac store and wait one hour while they figured out how to restore it.

I often wonder what Microsoft and Windows would be like if Bill hadn't retired. Would we still be seeing headlines once a week about how Windows Update is breaking hardware or erasing files or uninstalling "incompatible" software without telling the user or one of the hundred other things WU has screwed up the past couple years?
