This was true until Microsoft started shipping their own "exploits" (read: updates that are more for their benefit than yours.)

After the Windows 10 debacle, I'm looking to get off of Windows as soon as I can afford to. Whoever decided to turn Windows Update into an advertising platform needs to be fired -- it's that simple.
