MSFT Drops OS Ball, Again
Why is Microsoft Corporations' (NASDAQ: MSFT) CEO Satya Nardella touting underwater servers instead of focusing on the plight of current Windows Server and Desktop users dealing with the apparent incompetence of Microsoft staff and contractors running Windows Update systems? (With the latest screwup in Windows Update-land - the bad code pushed out to users in the October 2018 Update that deleted user files, and other necesary system files - is as of today NOT not fixed which caused the company to pull the October Update - and it's now November...) Is it the money from the cloud profit center (otherwise known as Azure) that's 'clouding' his vision? You be the judge!
