Microsoft: No More 'Patch Tuesday' For Windows 10 Home Users
citpyrc writes: According to the Register, Microsoft is making some changes to how it rolls out updates in Windows 10. Home users will receive updates as they come out, rather than queueing them all up on "patch Tuesday." Business users will have the option to set their own update cycle, so they can see if any of the patches accidentally break anything for home users before trying them out. There will also be an optional peer-to-peer updating mechanism for Windows 10. Microsoft announced a service called Advanced Threat Analytics, which employs various machine learning techniques to identify malware on a network. As a premium service, top-dollar customers can pay for Microsoft to monitor black-hat forums and alert the company if any of its employees' identities are stolen.
Windows 10. I have a, well, call him a friend, who works at Microsoft and has been forced to deal with the Windows 10 "beta" on his work machine for quite a while now. Apparently it's hard to keep productivity up when the damned thing keeps blue screening all the time. His opinion to me was that Windows 10 was the biggest piece of suckage Microsoft has produced to date. I bought some popcorn and am looking forward to release.
