Saying "windows is worse" doesn't really mean Apple is fine here. This isn't a post about how a forced Windows update is bricking Microsoft-built hardware with no guaranteed rollback or recovery path.

This is a post about how a major software update from a vendor is breaking their own hardware, and from a company that prides itself on not needing to be a computer expert to use their products.

That’s why I didn’t say that.

windows also doesn't upgrade windows 8 to windows 10 like this . windows 10 to windows 10 isn't that breaking change so its fair and osx is not better than this since mojave.

Except it does, which is why people made tools like this:

I guess because I've always used Professional, I have never been surprised or forced by an update.
