from the well-recommended dept.

The Register is reporting that Microsoft recommends that you NOT install the recommended .NET Framework 4.7 update:

Earlier this month, Microsoft gave the world .NET Framework 4.7 and urged users to install it for the usual reasons: more fun bits to play with and a security improvements.

But two days later the company urged Exchange users not to install it ASAP, because it hadn't validated it yet. Last Friday - 10 days after the launch of the new code - it reminded users of Lync and Skype for Business not to install it either.

[...] "We are in the process of validating Exchange Server on the .NET Framework 4.7, but the work is not yet complete".

While that validation is happening, "please delay this particular .NET update on your Exchange servers".

If you followed the original recommendation and installed the framework, and now wish to follow their new recommendation, then Microsoft recommends you follow these instructions to roll it back.

    The only OS I've used that was worse about these kind of "oh, you want to use your device now?, well, just wait a few minutes while we try to get it ready for you" kind of notices was Sony's PS3

    And people keep trying to tell me that newer game console are so much better than the NES I grew up with. I never had to wait a few minutes for that thing to start up, I just popped in a cartridge and hit the power button and it was on and playing instantly. (Luckily, I never had much trouble with bad contacts on cartridges that many people complained about, but I was also careful with my stuff, always putting the cartridges back in their sleeves when I removed them.)

    I just switched back to PC gaming after the last generation because I got fed up with that type of crap; at least with Steam, it will always start in offline mode if nothing else.

    I like to have my games ready to go on demand. I can understand installing updates for multiplayer, but waiting forever and a day for Fallout to install to the HDD is a major putoff, plus the costs for the officially "accepted" HDDs is absurd so you frequently have to delete and re-install games.
