Windows by default forces updates upon you and makes itbhard to disable them. Or make them ask you for updates.

Makes sense - why allow people to administer their own machines? :-P

They do, you can opt-out if you want, but you don't, unless you like malware. Windows is just an unsafe proprietary mess of a system. :-P

I thought some of the older ones, like 2000, were more secure, with ability to access on-chip security features. So ofc they threw all that out in favor of 10, the final OS that would come as a subscription service, meaning that you'd never need to buy one again. And then they threw that out too, in favor of the next one... and on and on it goes:-P.

I absolutely hate Windows:-(.
