The sorry Dimdows 11 saga continues

This latest update is actually *adding* more net bugs on top of the
previous revision of the OS.
Have we gone beyond the Brooks threshold, and now entered a Kessler

creating about one new bug for every one fixed, the “fixes” are
actually adding to an exponential decline in Microsoft’s software
quality?
