So Microsoft decided to stop making service packs for Windows, which enhance features or fix certain bugs. Do you think they should continue to make them, or do you think they're not neccesary?
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses whether Microsoft should continue releasing service packs and update rollup packs for Windows operating systems. Participants note that while Microsoft calls updates for recent Windows versions differently, the need for comprehensive, easy-to-install update packages remains, especially for Windows 7, where users express a desire for a cumulative rollup. Overall, there is consensus that such updates are important, with some suggesting future revision-based release models similar to other operating systems.

I wish they would make rollup pack with the updates. Win XP there were a a few ways to slipstream the updates and several people made monthly update packs. It was nice to have an up to date disk to resinstall without having to spend a bunch of time at Windows Update. I found tool that slipstreams Windows 7 but updates aren't simple to obtain.

You need a wsus server to do this and VMware or Hyper-v can both allow you to run it from a laptop with ease.

They are going to have to, Windows 10 would be quite a mess without it if Microsofts plans fail for it.
And in case of success there is still a need of upstreaming the OS, but perhaps its better to use revision numbers.
Maybe they will take notes from the apple and linux world, release a new disk once a few years to keep revenue and encourage late adapters.
