[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 750833"] 100% agreement here. As you know, I sold off all of our Windows Notebooks and purchased a case of Chromebooks. It's been 100% smooth sailing with Chromebooks. No chance of infection, I powerwash them once a month just for the heck of it since it only takes 9 seconds. Even my riskiest users doing the most risky things, in dangerous locations haven't been able to screw up my Chromebooks. I feel so confident with Chromebooks I don't even bother with any security extensions or even monitoring them. But after weeks when I check on them, it's the same as usual.. Totally clean, running fast, batteries that last forever. Love it! Anyone that doesn't NEED Windows should quite simply stop using it. My home is 75% Chromebook, 20% Debian/FreeBSD/Linux, and 5% Windows now. Good times. With the security theater largely behind me I've actually softened my stance and have been working to improve internet speed and flexibility, reducing hassles of bad page blocks, and generally focusing on usability. I keep a notebook handy for important things. Really important things never see an electronic device anymore. But if they did, they'd see a Chromebook. My windows boxes just play games for an 8 hour period, then the router/UTM shuts them down and blocks their internet. I do a Win10 reset on them every 3 months and call it a day. [/QUOTE]
