> Does no one remember the complete nightmare that was going to a relative's house and realizing they hadn't updating Windows in 1 year? Yes, but at the same time I ran Windows XP and Windows 7 without any updates for about 15 years combined and I can count the number of times I had to format due to malware or a virus on less than 1 hand. I once had 280 days of uptime on Windows 7 while constantly running VMs, an entire dev environment, games, etc.. It was a really good OS for what it was. I guess the moral of the story here is if you want to play with sharp knives you should have the option to. Power users who have been using computers for most of their lives shouldn't be put on the same playing field as your 65 year old Aunt or Uncle who still thinks AOL is the internet.
