[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 815489"] WD scored quite well IMO, it really has improved a lot from it's first go around.(y) [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] I'm also with you in regards to why they decided to switch OS'es during the test? It seems kind of strange and quite frankly like you said, Defender in W7 is not the same version of WD found on W10, so in reality they didn't test it at all in that particular test. I do have to say that MS is notoriously bad for reusing names for different products and only makes it more confusing.IMHO, if they retire a name/product, it should remain that way. Don't use the same name for a new product that has no resemblance to it's original program. I agree as well. They did miss the few area's that WD's performance isn't the greatest. I do wish that MS would improve it's performance in those areas, but as you've said, most people really won't notice WD all that much because most people/businesses don't install/uninstall programs and or transfer a lot of files on a daily basis. Those that do definitely will notice WD more, but I would say that in most cases, how it scored on this test represents what most people will notice IMHO.
