Windows is a giant malware with an OS.

I guess some would prefer they broadcast the vulnerabilities - I prefer the quiet fix with notification after the fact...

Why do they call the update “sneaky”?

Microsoft became aware of the problem and fixed it. As you said, people who refuse to do the critical updates do so at their own risk.

This sounds like the old “Microsoft can do nothing right, and Apple can do nothing wrong” attitude.

Yes, Apple fixed the problem as well. Are they calling Apple “sneaky” too?

I have WIN 10 and received two updates today which took about two hours total.

One was a Flash update and the other was a Windows Update 1709.

Seems my internet is a little slower now. I use FireFox and I will have to see why this is.
