Windows 8.1 Update Crippling PCs With BSOD, Microsoft Suggests You Roll Back
MojoKid writes Right on schedule, Microsoft rolled-out an onslaught of patches for its "Patch Tuesday" last week, and despite the fact that it wasn't the true "Update 2" for Windows 8.1 many of us were hoping for, updates are generally worth snatching up. Since the patch rollout, it's been discovered that four individual updates are causing random BSoD issues for its users, with KB2982791, a kernel-mode related driver, being the biggest culprit. Because of the bug's severity, Microsoft is recommending that anyone who updated go and uninstall a couple of the specific updates, or rollback using Windows Restore. You can uninstall these updates in much the same way you uninstall any app; the difference is that once you're in the "Programs and Features" section, you'll need to click on "View installed updates" on the left. While it's mostly recommended that you uninstall 2982791, you may wish to uninstall the others as well, just in case.
So much for allowing fans to lay e-flowers here and discuss his life.
Instead we have more Microsoft stories - they have to hit FP, usually every day - or it wouldn't be Slashdot Beta!
Then you know absolutely nothing about software development, let alone one that affects more desktops than anything else on the planet. Its hard to imagine you've been using a computer for any length of time at all with such an ignorant statement.
Microsoft does not actually have EVERY single PC configuration and software combination on the planet in their test labs.
I can't fathom how slashdot fall to the point where people with ignorance on your level get modded up instead of into oblivion. Whats better is that you're claiming that Windows 8 drivers that don't work on Windows 7 caused the same problem for you. This is an ID10T or PBKAC error I think.

Idiot.
Linux works just fine on the desktop for casual use, better than windoze might I add. Name one thing it can't do that a casual user needs that windows can. (Games don't count, because casuals don't play serious games, only stuff like tetris, and Linux has that).
