If you read it properly instead of skimming and then rushing to
gleefully spread the news, you'd see that it only applies to those who
installed 24H2 from media (DVD or USB) that has had Windows updates
slipstreamed into it.

 
Actually it's "that has had *the wrong* Windows updates slipstreamed
into it."

 
How should that be possible? Don?t Microsoft?s own updaters check for
applicability before allowing themselves to be installed?

  A bit badly worded, but the answer is yes. But in this fictive
scenario, Microsoft's own updaters are not used and actually
circumvented, as I wrote in the part you snipped:

  I.e. the imaginary user did the *wrong* thing and that might have led
to a problem.
 
  That's what you get for doing things the wrong way, isn't it!? :-)

   You yourself wrote (in a response to Paul):

Don't do that, then.

  So when a Linux user does something out of line, you says the
consequences are their fault, but when a Windows user does something
similar, you blame Microsoft/Windows. Hypocritical much!?

  Bottom line: Best not flame/blame stuff you don't understand.

  But in case you still can resist: At least *try* not to be dishonest
and don't snip context/comments when they don't fit your anti Microsoft/
Windows agenda.
