I was going to use Opatch on one m/c and the free year from MS if I used
OneDrive. Then I could compare.

When I clicked the link in MS updates it told me I was already using
OneDrive and had uploaded my settings (the minimum requirement). As far
as I know I didn't do that so MS must have done it for me or in the past
I inadvertently clicked something by mistake. 
However, the "bonus" is that I have the year's support for up to ten
machines so Opatch is in abeyance for the present. I just hope they have
a big uptake and thus the business model is viable and they are still
around when the year is up and I need them.
