That article doesn't even pass the standards of a college newspaper.

"Windows 10 is no more secure than Windows 7 — which is to say it is a profoundly insecure operating system. "

You are going to back up your statement with some proof, right?

"but just because Microsoft didn’t botch things as badly as Apple did doesn’t get it off the hook. I mean, what do you call it when Microsoft fixes security holes in Windows 10 that it doesn’t patch in Windows 7?"

Ah, so it's more secure than Windows 7, you mean? And maybe, Apple?

"I’m sticking with Windows 7 on my Windows machines, and I recommend you do too"

You still haven't told me why?

--- That said, I hate Windows 10 for one thing: its update process. I am one of those people who almost never shut down their machines, they are either on, or sleeping. That means, I leave my apps open, and I expect them open when I come back. If freakin' windows decided to reboot my computer without my permission, it means it will shut down my VMs dirty, and potentially cause me to lose data in some apps. By far, this is my biggest annoyance with Windows 10.
