Microsoft pulls OneDrive for Business update

Summary: There is no timeline for re-release and no explanation of the problem. This was a non-security update.
Microsoft also updated CHAT features in Outlook.com along with this update.Microsoft has pulled a non-security update for OneDrive for Business that it released on Tuesday.
A notice in the update's KB article says "We are investigating an issue that is affecting the September 2014 update for Microsoft OneDrive for Business. Therefore, we have removed the update from availability for now. We apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause." There is no indication of the nature of the issue, nor any suggestion that users should uninstall the update. The consumer version of OneDrive is unaffected.
The update itself included "stability and performance improvements" for the OneDrive for Business client program for Windows. The KB article describes an error message for a bug the update fixes and another bug related to the synchronization of the Favorites (Links) folder to a network share. This update was one of 18 non-security updates for Office released on Tuesday.
So far this is the only indication of problems with the September updates. Several of the August updates were problematic and had to be withdrawn by Microsoft. It was only on September 2 that they were all re-released.Hat tip to Windows IT Pro.

It finally happened. Today, all 500 of the world's top 500 supercomputers are running Linux. Linux rules supercomputing. This day has been coming since 1998, when Linux first appeared on the TOP500 Supercomputer list . Today it finally happened:  All 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers are running Linux . The last two non-Linux systems, a pair of Chinese IBM POWER computers running AIX, dropped off the  November 2017 TOP500 Supercomputer list . Overall, China now leads the supercomputing race with 202 computers to the US' 144. China also leads the US in aggregate performance. China's supercomputers represent 35.4 percent of the Top500's flops, while the US trails with 29.6 percent. With an anti-science regime in charge of the government, America will only continue to see its technological lead decline. When the  first Top500 supercomputer list was compiled in June 1993 , Linux was barely more than a toy. It hadn't even adopted Tux as its masc

Microsoft Office 365 Marketing chief Ron Markezich kicked off the conference this week with a slide entitled "Microsoft 365 Teamwork: Where to Start a Conversation." That slide attempts to do what  Microsoft initially attempted with a 60-plus-page whitepaper : Clarify which collaboration tools customers should use when. The slide, which features SharePoint -- and its files, sites and content storage at the center -- is broken down into t
