I appreciate your view. However, I think it may be a false dichotomy to say that the only way to keep Windows secure is to require updates that bring along privacy concerns, software and hardware incompatibilities, and radically different UIs.
Furthermore, we should also consider the responsibility that _Microsoft_ bears for releasing vulnerability-laden operating systems in addition to users who decline OS updates for the above-mentioned reasons.

They're not inexpensive and do not help with consumer protection. But modulo messaging and fairness, it sorta has to be done.
