[QUOTE="509322, post: 770257"] You're making the flawed argument that I pointed out earlier. It is a fallacy that increased security automatically translates into deal-breaking inconvenience. It just ain't true. That is the ignorant position that the default allow crowd promotes and perpetuates. An OS can be secure without being inconvenient. Chrome OS is an example. It's just a different user experience, but nevertheless meets the needs of the vast majority of people on a day-to-day basis. Microsoft does not deserve a medal for Windows 10. It isn't that good. Sure, Windows 10 is better than Windows XP. However, that's like comparing a Ford Pinto to a Ford Model T. Not impressive. Even now, if you look at Windows 10 Windows Defender Security you will see that some Exploit Guard, core isolation, and ransomware protection can be highly restrictive. They will block a user from doing stuff by default. Some exclusions can and might have to be made. This is no different than default deny policy. If a user can manage to create those exclusions in Windows 10 Defender Secruity, then they can do the exact same thing in SRP. Microsoft knows all about default deny and SRP as its progenitor. I really don't care what people use. Most of what is discussed on these forums is wasted effort anyways. If people want to use default allow Windows, then that's wonderful for them. Most people come to these forums because they seek out truth. And the truth of the matter is that Windows security suxx. [/QUOTE]
