Hol'up. They've had over half a century to follow suit with every other fucking OS since, and now they want a cookie for it?

That tracks.

I don’t think Windows Update was a thing in 1976

Drivers et al certainly were, and Micro$haft was founded in '75. ☝🏼🤓

That’s nice, dear, that drivers were a thing in 1976, but the topic under discussion was Windows Update. Windows Update was not a thing in 1976.

Don't be obtuse, boy. The salient point is said fucksticks taking 51+ years to stop overwriting more current, better code with their bullshit. The drivers are only tangentially relevant as the vehicle of such. Sit down.

Yeah you're right, so instead of half a century maybe we should say they've been doing it wrong for the entire history of their company

Is that better?
