If it is, it's only a matter of time before crackers find a way around that. Microsoft is smart, but someone is always smarter.
just the daily oxymoron-noticing committee here to notify you of your oxymoron utterance, that is all. thank you. :>
My biggest peeve is trying to shut down my computer, I keep on moving my mouse to the right and forgetting that that menu doesn't exist anymore
The biggest problem is windows defender hogging all of the cpu amd hdd on low end computers. With no way to disable it. (Gpo/regedit for the win!)
this is a good sign for win def, though, it means it's getting more potent and active. Having windows on a computer basically means you're willing to part with a good portion of the resources to an anti-virus. you can't afford to run without one.
I use windows and I haven't run antivirus in 5 years. The two times I had problems it were both because I was stupid and easily fixable.
Antivirus wouldn't have helped at all, and the people who don't have that option would know not to do what I did.
For a techie all about squeezing performance out of a C2Q with a PCIe 1.1 card and 4GB of RAM, microsoft's AV can go bother somebody else. It doesn't even tickle my i7 with win 7, I think how it works in win 8+ is more resource intensive. I've had to disable it on laptops for people because of such a significant slowdown.
My PC still just doesn't have the update to Windows 10 button. Checked it's up to date, and my version of Windows -is- legal/licensed/whatever
I haven't had any trouble getting Windows 10 installed anywhere. @kvalheim: try this link - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 I used it to avoid the automated rollout queue.
