So after all these years of the OS supposedly being problematic M$ now chooses to apprise users?! This sound suspiciously like fear-mongering to get the Windows 7 users who remain loyal to the OS to upgrade to Windows 10.
Translation: We don't like the fact that Windows 7 provides the consumer so much freedom over their own devises.
Also, they will send out updates that crash windows 7, and that upgrade to windowsspy version10 icon in the trey looks better every day.
This is how my updates look, I download and test malware. Visit the hell out of shady sites, use torrents. All while having no antivirus installed on my system.
I never install updates, what a load of CRAP!!
There is no need for security software or updates, for the home user. Only paying attention to what you are doing, if a hacker wants to hack you, there is nothing you can do. Which is why I do back up my files once or twice a week.
Updates are provided for a reason. Home user should install OS Updates
Updates are provided for a reason. Home user should install OS Updates, aside from the upgrade to windows 10 update.
That is all I have to say in that respect.
As for the article in question, they basically did the same thing with XP and Windows 8 respectively, just not that public. Nothing new here.
then they might have to make do by adding those features to Win 7.
True, I would agree with that. However, M$ has had a somewhat spotty track record with providing consistently benign updates. Hence why I never allow my systems to auto update. I always wait a week, or two, after the latest release and watch the commentary from users who applied the updates before I do a manual update. Which is why I will not upgrade to Windows 10 Home edition because it does not provide for that control, instead forcing the updates on users.Updates are provided for a reason.

Very true.they basically did the same thing with XP and Windows 8 respectively, just not that public. Nothing new here.
They have put out some bad updates which have caused some problems however for the most part these are necessary for many reasons and not just security.I have to agree with this. Though, I'm a bit skeptical about some of the security updates. If they can't get people into Windows 10 because of peoples distrust in Windows 10's new privacy features (like myself), then they could simply do their best to add those features to Win 7.
Whether Linux or Windows, OS Updates are recommended specifically to fix issues.Yeah, to trash your computer. Think about it, they sell operating systems. Why if I sell rain jackets, do I prey for a drought??? I have had this laptop for 6 months, and have no issues with security games I play, anything, so what are updates for??? My desktop has been running for 6 years, also windows 7 no updates and guess what, no issues....
They already have done so.
Installing updates in terms of when is fine. I do not install straight away either. But on the same token I do not ignore updates completely.True, I would agree with that.

Keep that in mind.
dont misunderstand, no one is insulting here. But telling people to disable updates and not update their OS is not the best of practice.I understand that, I am no moron. It really is safe for EVERYONE to disable updates, and get them on an as needed basis....
