Microsoft has yet to make a good operating system since nt / windows 2000.
You weren't comparing them to NT/2000, you were comparing them to Windows XP. Also, you're not really substantiating much of anything.
Since i advise against updating windows... Since windows update has been broken since day one and i havent yet been ever able to update windows and not having to end up reinstalling the OS in a few weeks.
This is your fault. Seriously. There is virtually no way that Windows Update can be so broken that it's unusable without you reinstalling, and by not updating anything, you're setting up a huge security liability.
You're probably screwing
something up with your services or some other "tweaks" you're making.
So, pray tell, why would you need to reinstall Windows after updating it?
Also, even if Windows Update is so broken for you, why in God's name do you say that
other people shouldn't use it? I've only ever had a problem with Windows Update after a failed service pack installation, and it was recoverable.
Windows time because you dont need it. It also use to have a security vulnerability which would allow someone to take full control of your computer. So i just say turn it off just in case
Yes, you're going to have a lot of really awful security vulnerabilities if you
never update your operating system for years on end.
Also, you say "used to" because it's
been fixed. Hope you enjoy your clock never synchronizing with the correct time, though.
Hehe, i haven't updated in about 8 years now and i have yet to get a virus or have a single problem. Most security problems have to do with alot of the crappy windows services that normaly run. Turning those off and you wont need to worry about security problems.
This is complete BS. There's pretty much no way that you've disabled every single service with a security vulnerability in it for the past eight years, considering the amount of them that have been exposed and fixed in that time period. Of course, you seem to disable even services that
are useful, and seem to be very good at breaking Windows regularly, so beats me.
Oh, and if you have SP2 or SP3 (and why the hell wouldn't you?), then yes, you
have updated in the last eight years.
Also recommend turning off system restore and remote access.
System Restore hasn't always worked for me, but it saved my ass all of two days ago.
Last time i used ubuntu was last year and it was the best operating system i ever used in my whole life. It was so easy to setup and use and you never ever have driver problems.
Considering how much trouble you have setting up and running Windows, I'm amazed you're running any sort of Linux at all.
reduces your chances of getting a virus
This is an assertion without substance. Again, why?
Oh well no i ment, not doing other things on the computer. I ment doing the opposite of what i said above
Most of your advice was misguided, just plain bad, only applies to you, or some combination of the above.
