This morning, as I was reading my RSS feeds, I came across an article about a Microsoft venerability and how the patch was released on Tuesday. As my mind was mulling over this article and few errant thoughts floated around. “That’s right Windows Updates are always on Tuesday. Oh yeah, and Apple’s updates are on Wednesday aren’t they?” It’s at that point that I realised that today is Friday and I didn’t receive any updates. Something must be wrong.
Regardless of the operating system, computers aren’t perfect and problems arise from time-to-time. So I wasn’t alarmed by the fact that my new MacBook hadn’t alerted me to the fact that there were updates this past Wednesday. Microsoft Update gives me trouble all the time. I have several machines that I manage that still require manual updates, even though I have them set to auto-update. It frustrates me to know end, but that’s just how it works, or doesn’t as the case may be.
