So Microsoft called their update for the next season "Fall Update" and British people were like "it's called autumn". So they changed it. Except they didn't and it was all a "mistranslation" from English to English.

@lx it's actually a really good name, since so far all the pre-release version is doing is falling over, and rolling back. At least that's my experience.

@PhotonQyv Now I understand! They took back the "autumn" because they didn't mean "fall" as in the season.. 😉

@lx @PhotonQyv they should change it to fail update, then it will be more accurate as nearly always at least one of your existing apps fails after such updates. Just last week I had to transfer the entire control database for the smart doors (NFC tag door locks) at my work from a Win10 to Win7 machine (alas, s/w only runs on Windows) as Creators update hosed the install and I didn't trust it any further with Win10.

@vfrmedia @PhotonQyv And that from a company which is known for sacrificing everything in the name of backwards compatibility. 🙄
