Going To Youtube, I discover Microsoft Is Down

Apparently it's another of its forced updates that have caused millions of computers to crash.   That's why I quit Windows for Linux almost five years ago,  it's not perfect and there are all kinds of changes I had to make to use it but I haven't regretted the decision in the past.   One of the best things about Linux is that it's free and even some of the less widely used distros have enthusiastic user communities.   Updates aren't forced on you with them.
