Typical anti-Windows BS. We will immediately update all our company and personal computers with confidence. Have never had problems with most versions and don’t expect any now.

I have experienced very few problems with security updates.

Feature additions / changes / updates... a more spotty record. Nobody's perfect, and features are more risky since they very often have a release schedule that forces them out before they're fully baked. Security updates seem to be better tested.

Hardly. The article is not anti-Windows at all; it's just providing information for folks who prefer to delay certain updates. And it's not BS -- I'm pretty sure what they say is factually accurate. If you believe otherwise, please cite and clarify. Thanks.

Well, Reno, I did have some problems w/ the April Creators release, v. 1703, that MS promoted but didn’t push (manual upgrade and that’s on most Win 10 machines by now) causing trouble w/ two third-party applications I use, Bose SoundTouch and RedOxygen Office SMS. I kept my desktop on v1607 and don’t have trouble w/ those applications.

The core OS v. 1703 is useful, stable, and works great. Hoping Fall Creators will fix things. Meanwhile, Creators has been extremely useful for me and looking forward to new features in full version coming up.
