So they have issued SPECIAL EDITION for Skylake cpus ??? How come this doesn't crash on ANY OTHER CPU/MOBO combo??

Assume you mean the following (and that you found it on the register), which was fixed weeks ago and only affected machines running Avast.

Avast must have been given a pretty release for testing, but clearly didn't do enough testing of their own. Hardly Microsofts fault.

If you did get the story from the Register, I stopped reading that site years ago as stories were mostly click bait, and they never post follow ups when issues are resolved.

Back when I stopped reading them they were quite biased too.

It was also on other tech sites, and a garbled version on the BBC News/Tech section.

 

As for updates to stories, they do do them, but not always, I suspect it really depends if the target of the story gets back to them. For stories like this they usually finish with "We have asked "X" to comment, but have had no reply yet; we will update this story when they reply".

 

As for click-bait, they do like their weird headlines and Playmobil; and yes, they do often seem to have an anti-Apple bias, but dont all non-fanbois??

 

Still, all that negative Apple stuff must be true, or Apple would have sued them.
