>We continue to investigate the issues with GitHub services and will shift to a slower update cadence to provide more meaningful updates going forward.

Translation: our shitty software update practices are now affecting Github, not just Windows!

If anyone from Microsoft is reading this, why is your company so incompetent at software updates in the past few years?

I've read it as "we'll stop posting silly updates to this incident until we actually know something", not "we'll stop rolling out updates to our services".

I'd wage that Microsoft practices had nothing to do with this, but I'll wait for RCA.

You honestly believe that a company the size of GitHub has had their software update practices appreciably change since the acquisition? Relax, GitHub had update issues before and they will have them again.
All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again. So say we all.
Github is part of MS, but as I understand it, is run separately from the rest of Microsoft.
I think that's talking about status update cadence, not software updates.
Is it not ostensibly the same company, just with a new owner...?
Initially, but that is subject to change or more likely evolve over time.
