Microsoft debuts 'fix it' program
« on: April 19, 2010, 14:21 »
Microsoft has launched "Fix It" software that keeps an eye on a PC and automatically repairs common faults.

The software basically adds the automatic diagnostics system in Windows 7 to older versions of Microsoft's operating system.

Would you trust MS to fix a machine, as distinct from screw it?  :o

I certainly wouldn't trust it!  But I suppose it already exists on my Win 7 laptop?   Who knew?  :dunno:
