Windows updates are smooth, easy, and keep the computer running flawlessly. Microsoft Security Essentials keeps out the malware, unless you’re an idiot and deliberately click on porn links and invite it in. Windows security has improved tremendously since the late 90’s.

Windows has 90% of the market. Linux has 1%. Like I said, its a great hobby OS and lots of fun to play with.

“Windows updates are smooth, easy, and keep the computer running flawlessly.”

I really wish that was true, Mr. Balmer; my life would be so much simpler. A client of mine is running an older machine with XP Pro SP3. It cannot install critical updates that have already downloaded for Net Framework 2.0 or higher. A short cryptic message says the installation attempt failed, but gives no reason why. Nice, Microsoft, really nice. Smooth and easy, uh-huh. And that is not the only Windows PC I have troubles with installing updates.
