Submission + - Microsoft's update also breaks USB scanners (slashdot.org) 2

shanen writes: Not requesting a dupe, but the story died too soon for me to add the data point. I don't use the scanner often enough, eh? Not sure how to revive interest, but I actually think some stories should move down the top page more slowly, and this is one that probably deserved more than the standard one-day lifetime. Not sure when I remembered that some "USB topic" had gone past on Slashdot recently...

So I searched google and for some strange reason the google didn't return any links to the horse's mouth at Microsoft. What?

That provoked me into trying Bing and then Copilot, which produced a rather hilarious and infuriating discussion. Some of it might be amusing here, but I don't need the headache of getting sued by Microsoft if I dared to quote what their AI said. Much of the discussion involved "regression testing" and how little anyone should trust Microsoft. Confessions from the jackass's mouth?

    The "Microsoft update" only affects USB connections and scanners if you run Windoze. If you run Linux, this is not a problem!
  • Didn't the plug and play demo with Bill Gates cause a BSOD for Windows 98 from a USB scanner?
