Soukyuu Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Microsoft always changed system files via Windows update... that's what it is for. On that account, I agree with s1ane77: in-memory patching is way more robust and exactly why UXStyle is superior. Too bad the experimental bits stopped working on win8.1 though (BSOD on install) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexKven Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I just simultaneously installed 52 updates (which somehow didn't include the problem update DP had), and everything worked just as it should :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so let's take a vote..Aye or Nay?..DP for those of us that dont understand these things can you explain what the advantages are - have followed the discussion about updates breaking things - for me that has not happened but who knows what M$ will do in the future - does this mean Glass is then approved and cannot be broken Edited July 25, 2013 by adacom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Softmicro?And there are other companies besides MS that also like money. Apple was artificially raising ebook prices. The only difference is that Apple doesn't have an "S" in its name.And I don't want to call it M$ when it provides so many free resources to students.
