So what is the advice to a small business with no IT specialist, just a group of us who rely on our technology, but are not into spending weeks testing, even if we knew what to test?

Looks like another "don't touch it with a barge pole" until you buy your next PCs with it already installed. Even then, who knows what it might blown out of your technological water? At least we know already that Microsoft doesn't give a toss about small businesses. So what happens if it automatically gets pushed to our PC's with Auto-update set on and it destroys a critical application? Should we switch it off?

When can we trust them to get it right?

So many questions, so few answers!
