This may finally be it

For years I've been confidently alerting people that MSoft has been lying about not updating Windows 7. For years it has been updating my computer with updates, mostly to the Security.

It's a bit early to tell for sure, but today might be the end of the line. The auto-update system isn't working, and even the manual update doesn't work, which is usually a reliable fallback. Or else I've forgotten a step that worked before.

There's also a chance that this update is faulty.

In any case, I'll have to see how things pan out over the next few days (or weeks).

*sigh*
