      It’s been 30 years and jokes about Windows expanding to fill available space still work.

      Boot with a Linux live CD, and then delete Windows. I agree.

      Too bad I can’t force my business to go to Linux. I would love if all our labs were just Nix OS config files or something like that.

    WTF is up with this 24H2 update I keep hearing about?

    It appears to have a ton of issues, from this to permanently BSOD’s people’s computers?

    The patch will remove the cache and all the files Windows don’t need.
