Hol'up. They've had over half a century to follow suit with every other fucking OS since, and now they want a cookie for it?

That tracks.

I don’t think Windows Update was a thing in 1976

Drivers et al certainly were, and Micro$haft was founded in '75. ☝🏼🤓

That’s nice, dear, that drivers were a thing in 1976, but the topic under discussion was Windows Update. Windows Update was not a thing in 1976.

Don't be obtuse, boy. The salient point is said fucksticks taking 51+ years to stop overwriting more current, better code with their bullshit. The drivers are only tangentially relevant as the vehicle of such. Sit down.
