Tech outage brings massive disruption worldwide including major air carriers to full stop

Maybe this will finally pass legislation making it illegal for Microsoft to force an update. I've had window updates get forced while I'm driving next to a tornado knocking out my radar. You can turn them off but it's like cracking state code and the next update it turns them back on all over again.

Not nearly the consequences as you, but there is a running joke in our offices, if you accidentally click " update" prepare to be down for at least 90 min. ( and folks usually click right around opening, 9 am )

Which will throw off your entire day.

And then you HOPE that it doesnt mess with the 12 other pieces of software we use or now you are on phone with IT for them to back out/restore your system to before update. Thats an entire morning.
