This number seems quite low. My organisation alone would have had something like 3000 employee devices taken down. Since it happened on a day where most people WFH, there’s at least another thousand static devices in my building alone that may not have been in use at the time that will shit the bed tomorrow morning.
The same thing applies to our much larger sister companies interstate. So that’s another 6,000 or so devices.
The two largest energy retailers were affected too, so that’s another 5,000 devices at a conservative estimate.
Then there’s all the self-service checkouts that went down across Australia. I have no idea how many there are, but if every Coles and Woolworths has ten of them, that’s another ~40,000 devices.
That’s just the organisations that I am personally aware of as being affected in Australia and can get ballpark figures for.
Obviously Microsoft are getting their figures from the auto-reportimg that happened on each crash, but it really does seem like it’s too low.
It’s beyond time to diversify our IT infrastructure. Enough with sticking everything “in the cloud” and paying for software (and devices!!) we don’t own.
Sounds like I’d be happy either way, sooo
Absolutely staggering film. I am constantly kicking myself for not watching it in cinemas at release, because my god… My god!!
Man, Windows 7 was great. All the excellent parts of Vista (and contrary to popular belief, the were many excellent things about that OS), and none of the nasty. Although that can be somewhat attributed to computing power having caught up by the time 7 was released.
I remember switching from Vista to 7 fulltime as soon as the beta came out. Even then, it was faster and more stable than Vista on the same hardware.
Coincidentally, Windows 7 was around for a whole lot of good times in my life…

I don’t think I’ve ever had this feeling, to be honest.
As a slight tangent, I recently got an electric moped. It has a maximum speed of 48kph, and the speed limit on my route to work and back every day is 50kph.
I bet that if we made a Venn diagram of all the people that say “I’d respect cyclists of they were forced to be registered with number plates and insurance” and the people that insist on overtaking me in single-lane suburban streets because I’m going 2kph below the limit, it would just be a perfect circle.
