The woes of Windows 10
This is definitely an interesting read from The Economist
I would like to draw your attention to this part in particular, because I believe it has fallen victim to Microsoft’s PR engine and is actually inaccurate.
“There is no question that Windows 10 is an impressive piece of software, and quite the most secure operating system ever devised.”
It is most definitely NOT the most secure operating system ever devised. I would suggest that Linux holds that title, which is one reason why it dominates in the server environment.
To give a little more context, I was called to a client’s to fix their PC not too long ago. It has Windows 10 and it was riddled with malware. The cause was that the third party anti virus software had been uninstalled… by Windows 10 itself! How on Earth is that secure?
Anyway, read the article, because it really is interesting.

I almost spat my drink out when reading that sentence you’ve quoted.
It’s the kind of comment my old project supervisor would have laughed at. Firstly, always avoid the “There’s no question about ..” because there is always questions, and to suggest otherwise is to say it’s dogma, but then to add a personal matter of “impressive” which can only be determined by each individual is hilarious.
Pedantic .. yeh, maybe .. but meaningful it isn’t.
But then to add that there is equally no question about it’s security, well this is more interesting, because that’s something you can test, and as you rightly point out, companies all over the world have done so and decided another OS is actually far better when it comes to security and stability based on evidence.
Even so, I’d never be stupid to say there was no question that Linux was either, because there are always questions, particularly in an environment that is ever changing, both in terms of OS development, anti-threat and threat.

I dont see this as the woes of windows 10, It simply is human behavior. A big chunk of those windows 7 machines are still doing what the user wants, and as such, they have zero need to buy a new computer, and thus, wont upgrade their hardware or software.
Not a problem or failure for microsoft or windows 10, just people being people.
If anything, I consider windows 10 adoptation rates a big success. Just look at the issues Google have with people sticking to old phones with old android versions because the hardware and software is good enough compared to the new stuff so they just do not need to buy a new phone and probably wont need to until that old phone die on them.
The software makers cant change that the hardware is good enough already and have been good enough for those people for years, unless google and microsoft simply take it on themselves to force an OS upgrade.
Add to that the huge number of people that used to pirate windows 7 and xp. they have even less incentive to upgrade to something they feel they have to pay for.
Eventually, they will and when they do they will find that Windows 10 is amazingly good and evolving rapidly to something even better.
As for security, today a good chunk of It experts would actually tell you to uninstall any third party software for virus and malware and just rely on windows 10 built in stuff, and a good and secure router and user behavior.

Francis Anderson I was very careful to only ‘suggest’ that Linux should have the title. There have been security vulnerabilities in Linux, but thankfully they have been fixed quickly when they have been identified. Certainly more quickly than the sluggish performance Microsoft seem to enjoy. Google have called them out on more than one occasion for that.

One issue with Linux is the kernel update, many servers for totally understandable reasons don’t update their kernel’s, and that means, they can be running with known vulnerabilities. Have seen this a few times in the past.

Michael A Koontz Here’s a recent (ish) article about Windows Defender and other AV and anti malware software for Windows 10. It was published in October 2016, so it’s not that old.
http://www.howtogeek.com/225385/what%E2%80%99s-the-best-antivirus-for-windows-10-is-windows-defender-good-enough/
Anyway, it seems to be a fair comparison of the different options and points out that Windows Defender is good, but isn’t necessarily the best.
I would caution against the advice towards the end of the article though which recommends you use Malwarebytes in addition to something else. I use Malwarebytes and I think it is great at what it does, but any computer that is running two programs that do the same thing is going to start encountering performance issues. That’s 2x the resources being used for little gain.
Generally speaking one of the main gripes I have with Windows (and it’s not just Microsoft’s fault, because I blame the criminals) is that you get a nice new machine and then have to have anti virus or anti malware software running on it all of the time. You effectively hamstring your PC with software that is often classed as bloatware, or that nags you to buy this that and the other. Not a good user experience in my opinion.

Agreed on the downsides of av and malware software. But in this 24/7 connected and “patchable” world no connected platform will ever again manage to go without over the top safety features in hardware and software. We all need constant surveillance to make sure things do not go south. So that issue is not and will never again be a windows only thing.
As for how good windows built in stuff is versus third party stuff, nothing is failproof, but my own point is more that the difference between windows built in stuff and the third party stuff is so small that it does not even matter.
Plus time and time again third party security stuff is actually used to break peoples security with at times pretty insane security holes, so I am simply one of those making the informed choice of not using third party security software for virus and malware, at least for now.

yeah right, microsoft tried to improve their security, they did actually do something with it, but malware security wasn’t top of the list they succeed to improve. The only thing they did is that they put 1 trillion options for “watch and learn” for system improvement and pirate watchdog functions. Their security now has goat instincts, when it finds a problem it “dies”, blue screen and restarts. 5 months ago lenovo sold me an ideapad with w10 and an unstable motherboard, because of that the video card driver makes windows to crash while windows 7 just shows a error message that there is malfunctions with the drivers before i actually found the truth, but i have to say that i prefer windows 10 cause now it is easier to use and it has improvements that i definitely got attached to and i just cannot without them.

Michael A Koontz that is very true about third party software introducing vulnerabilities. It was towards the tail end of last year I think, when Google reprimanded AVG for forcing their Chrome extension on users and making Chrome less secure as a result. It can and does indeed happen.

Odd gizmodo would use one of the more reputable av’s as it’s image for an article about the uselessness of some av products.
It’s all about what the user does with admin level access when it comes to infection risk.
If they are drawn to click bait “free virus scan here” type adverts and use Windows, I’d suggest they stick with some protection.
Here’s the thing, I haven’t had any blue screen or app crashes from my AV software on Windows, just as I’ve not really had any malware either.
