No offense, but this is wrong.

There is a metric-fuck ton of telemetry on a windows machine (really any sufficiently sophisticated software/device).

Not only do they correlate the update start event with the update end event, they also have a billion other metrics that nosedive if the machine can’t actually reboot.

That doesn’t make it any more acceptable, but it’s the truth. It’s totally possible the first metric report doesn’t show up for a day, too. So, it’s doubly not ok for them to push something so haphazardly.

How do you think they caught this in a “preview update” then?
