Microsoft is changing the way it updates Windows, introduces "checkpoint >>> cumulative updates"
It sounds like a net win, but concerns remain
Microsoft is introducing checkpoint cumulative updates for Windows 11,
positioning them as smaller, faster, and more sustainable, requiring no
action from users or IT administrators.
Basically checkpoint cumulative updates allow for incremental differentials >>> - meaning it builds on the previous checkpoint rather than including all >>> the changes since the original release - an approach that will save time, >>> bandwidth, and hard drive space for users and organizations, Microsoft

The process may involve multiple checkpoints during a Windows release
lifecycle, with the servicing stack merging all checkpoints and only
downloading missing content. In other words, for most update management
tools, the changes will be handled automatically by the Windows servicing >>> stack.
Sound good to me too. I wonder if they did a good job of it.
My going rate for rants has just gone up.
They're a dollar each now.
Taking a process, that is slow, and... chopping it up into 12,000
pieces... that's got to be a good thing, amiright?
That's a sampling of what a dollar will get you, Microsoft.
It's pretty much what they do now. They just run it in a lump every
Tuesday. I don't think splitting it into tiny pieces is going to help,
and the maintenance on the local machine will be a point of failure, guaranteed.
