[QUOTE="RejZoR, post: 770243, member: 57233"] I disagree there. Microsoft could easily make a super secure OS at absolute expense of any convenience for the user. It would be the most secure OS. But no one would be using it. Oh, I'm basically describing Linux. Used by servers and professionals in the millions, but it's so clumsy it's basically only used by them and no one else. Windows is made for the people and when you're making something for the people, security will always suffer because they don't have the luxury of sacrificing convenience. But ignoring the huge leaps MS made for security without sacrificing much of convenience is well, just ignorant. If we look at general security with WinXP from 17 years ago and Windows 10 today, no one can deny that Windows 10 is far more secure OS while not really any less convenient than WinXP. In fact I enjoy using Windows 10 far more than I did using Windows XP. It just works better, faster, is more secure and while I liked all the colorful things and the Luna GUI, I really like the Windows 10 visual design. So, MS hit a good balance between security and convenience. But there will always be people whining over something, it's impossible to get past that when your OS is the most used in the world among consumers. [/QUOTE]
