  I just can’t believe this was only 8.5m… I know companies with thousands of affected machines, and that is only in one state in Australia… maybe they actually mean ‘pc’ and not server…

    I suspect we get another post after several months when they say they’re underestimated the affected parties and the real numbers are much higher, but at that point the news cycle will have moved on.

    Not all machines were affected. It was like about a 1 and 4 in the US

  Company says it’s improving testing processes to avoid a repeat.

  For example they are going to test the update once and for more than 5 minutes on real hardware
