Such reports don't mean a lot. Number of vulnerabilities isn't terribly important, what's important is how fast they're patched. With the exception of a couple of very rare examples the open source community as well as the number of very large corperations that support Linux are generally very efficient at patching Linux security vulnerabilities.
Which makes sense as Linux virtually runs the internet.
Way to blow it off as inconsequential. It's not.
So what if the FBI is watching me?
That's the entirely wrong attitude, seriously, and it's not whether or not you're doing something wrong.
Most users can probably get by with android/linux as far as daily computing for all of the above situations. And most business that i have seen lately have been moving to cloud based computing meaning as long as it has a working web browser it will work...None of this matters to most windows users.
On the consumer end, most people never upgrade their OS (unless they accidently upgraded to Windows 10 during the free upgrade period).
They will run whatever version came on their laptop/desktop, and when they buy a new system, they end up with whatever version came with the new computer.
Any Windows system from any legitimate OEM that has one of the new chips in it will ship with Windows 10.
As for Business, it's pretty much the same.
If it's a small company, it's likely they will stick with the current OS until they replace the computer.
If it's a larger company, with a site license, they can upgrade their system to the current OS. If they downgrade new systems to an older OS, then it's their problem.
Most businesses have too much invested in Windows to switch to another OS. Unlikely to happen for a very long time.
On Win 8.1 and Kabylake 7700k. Guess I'll just disable Windows Update. Grab my updates the manual way.
For the record, as an OS Android does not spy on users, due to the fact that the AOSP is available I would imagine one would be able to check the source code to validate this.
The OS itself isn'T capable of spying but all the services and apps that google provides are capable of collecting vast amounts of information about you. All tied to an account which you're forced to use if you want to use most services. You can't even use the play store if you don't have an account tied to your device. Of course you can create multiple fake accounts but it's not what most people do. Even I'm too lazy to do that, I'm winging it based on the assumption that I'm too small fish for anyone to be after my collected data.AOSP is "the bare essentials" and manufacturers are free to develop above and beyond that as they see fit - so saying that Android itself is incapable of spying for <whoever> is a bit presumptuous..
AOSP is "the bare essentials" and manufacturers are free to develop above and beyond that as they see fit - so saying that Android itself is incapable of spying for <whoever> is a bit presumptuous. A perfect example of this extended development of the base AOSP code is BlackBerry's work on securing Android for their own devices. I'm not saying they've added spying features or anything of the like, I'm simply saying that AOSP is that base that gets built upon as the manufacturer of a device wishes it to be for said devices.
How many "cheap Chinese smartphones" have been sold and then later it was discovered that the device and the OS it's running have been spying on end users with malware of various kinds from the factory? And just because they're from manufacturers that skimp and save every cent possible (or Yen or Ruble or whatever the smallest unit of their country currency happens to be) doesn't mean that larger ones haven't taken it upon themselves to do something of a similar note. Yes I suppose you'll come back with "that wasn't the OS, that was the apps preinstalled from the factory..." but that's not quite the whole story either.

Used it to get Forza 6 for free 'cause I like to race every now and again, Store doesn't pop up when I launch the game or anything so there's one small point in its favor. Happily continued ignoring it after that.I'm on 10 and never seen the store once. I've continued to download dtuff through my browser from a webpage or through game client. Thank you for reminding me there's a store and informing me it sucks.

Hang on.
What you are seeing is vulnerabilities found, now there could be more vulnerabilities under Windows 10 that simply haven't been discovered yet due to it's low adoption rate, laziness on behalf of MS, etc.
Basically, seeing that vulnerabilities are being discovered and patched is a very good thing, contrary to the way you're trying to spin things it actually looks good when vulnerabilities are discovered. The fact that more vulnerabilities are being discovered under Linux makes perfect sense as Linux basically runs the internet.
You're viewing the data with the wrong perspective.
Or, run updates and let us know if the situation is actually occurring for you or not? I would be interested in knowing straight up experience on this one.
Looks like Microsoft wants to put a huge dent in newer hardware sales. Wonder how the CPU market responds. Then again perhaps this is a combined effort to sell older processors that are still on the shelves. Either way this is a shady business tactic from Microsoft.
The new CPU and hardware sales will remain unaffected but, I am sure folks around here will try to claim otherwise. Or they will claim this is the year of the LINUX!
You obviously do not work at a non tech fortune 100.Any company worth their salt took advantage of the upgrade and has things locked down via GPO and WSUS.

I love and recommend Windows 10 and have it on all my 5 computers with no problems whatsoever. So what if the FBI is watching me? Not doing anything wrong except ...
The Linux distros and Android are not broken out into separate versions?
Might as well combine all the Windows entries together - that would put it at the top of the list.
The Windows Store is the only way to get Play Anywhere titles on PC, so it's the only reason I'm using it. But the UI is such garbage that I actually buy the games on my Xbox instead .It seems like most of the point of forcing users into Windows 10 is the Store, because Microsoft wants that app money that Google and Apple are raking in. Yet, the store has nothing compelling for desktop users, plenty of limitations and issues, and does a poor job at filtering and promoting useful content. It's also yet another interface that's inconsistently designed, weak on touch systems and obtuse on desktops. I'd get it if their tablet and phone sales were high, but they're just not. So...why? You're going to annoy the taste-making [H]igh end users, and it's another reason for everyone to keep deciding their older PC is "good enough".
But I have no issue with window snapping on multiple screens in Windows 7?Just the window snapping for multi screen setups alone makes Windows 10 worth it imo.
Unfortunately for Microsoft, they totally failed in mobile and some took that to mean, Windows 7 forever. Except maybe younger people that wondered why the hell there was no way to give voice commands to their PC like their phone?
Microsoft's failure in smartphone created a generational problem for them. Long time Windows users are all about PCs from the 80's. Smartphone users aren't.
However...I don't give a shit about this
