Can't see the original now, someone flagged it. Even so: - Yes, there are IIRC updates not requiring restart ("not every" <=> "some exist that do not have the property"). - Not updating your existing system is indeed dangerous. Updating your Windows system...is sometimes even more dangerous: I was on the receiving end of "Where do you want to go today? Never mind, you want to upgrade to WinX; stop whining, we know you want it!" That said, there are far more dangerous MS FUD campaigns, I think. - The final question is quite different to your original claim, IIRC; but yes, Win10 IMNSHO falls squarely under "malware," and thus I'm not using it. Not even using Windows, FWIW. Even better, the GWX fiasco helped me persuade people to move off Windows altogether.
