Further context and not to be interpreted as a rant:  It has taken me
years to get away from M$ and find an alternative that I can live with
(unity excluded). I filed the report not as a criticism of its quality
but to help/assist in the progress towards a better experience for all
users.  I can happily see my days out using the 74 image.  FYI I lost
sleep over feeling as though I was bullied into updating my bios. I have
experienced in the past the inability to boot as a result of taking such
action and it took me a whole week to recover and reinstall all my tools
and apps. Test your guides on impaired short term memory and have some
respect. Last bit possibly a rant but it had to be said.
