Dear God, bad headline
Rolling out isn’t a forced update. Microsoft uses machine learning to determine when a computer should receive a big feature update. These are gradual, similar to how how Steam staggers your game updates by default. Machines qualified by the model to have a “good” upgrade experience get updated first. This is to 1. not strain global delivery and local networks too much 2. be able to stop the rollout if anything goes wrong.
All the message they analyzed from MS meant was that as the EOL of previous Win11 version nears, they’re starting to rollout the update to all PCs. You can still disable automatic updates.
This community has a heavy bias against Windows. Expect more of those kinds of headlines to show up in here.
not strain global networks to much
I have personally witnessed what mass Windows updates can do to a network on a smaller scale on a college campus when I used to work IT for one
For the longest time (They eventually got around to fixing this, I was just hell desk at the time so not my problem) whenever patch Tuesday would roll around everything network wise came to a screeching halt for a solid hour while all the windows machines would update
But Linux good, Windows bad? This entirely reasonable approach doesn’t sound right.
