The "verify" link just takes me to an MS error reporting site, which doesn't present any of the error or informational messages from the articles.

I'm confused. O_o

I'm worried for a future of a more locked down Microsoft (UEFI, encrypted bootloaders, allowing you to install only from app stores on the ARM machines) that doesn't have to be monitored for anti-competitive things anymore

Worried about RIAA? Don't buy (and don't obtain without purchase) their media.

Worried about Microsoft tech? Don't buy it.

Make them irrelevant.

Tell your friends.
