The “Linux” kernel rules the world.
If the world will wake up one morning and find out that Windows OS has been wiped out, nothing will happen (example : Sony’s network hack that took down all Windows PCs/Servers. People fired up their Mac,iPad,iPhone.. and continued their work for weeks.

If the world will wake up one morning and find out that “Linux” has been wiped out, the world will collapse in a heart beat and never recover.

“Linux” runs MacOS, iOS, Android, every router, runs communication switches, SmartTVs, set-top boxes, streamers, server/web servers, traffic light, stock exchange, …..

The general population doesn’t know/use Microsoft’s support forums and those that do don’t use it anymore after the response they get, like : Boot into safe mode..(what is safe mode ?), edit the registry..(what is registry?), download ISO and re-install Windows (what is ISO ?)…

Microsoft causes $Trillion in damages with every Patch Tuesday to users with faulty updates, data lose, crashed PCs, time lose….

Feature Updates:
From Windows 10, version 1511 to version 1607 maximum was 180 days.
From Windows 10, version 1703 to version 1809, the maximum is 365 days.

Nothing regarding 1903…

https://www.ghacks.net has a post regarding KB4482887 :

Enable Retpoline on Windows 10 1809 and Server right now

Microsoft has tested Retpoline, a new mitigation method against Spectre variant 2 (by Google?), on Windows 10 Insider Builds for some time now. The company brought Retpoline to Windows 10 version 1809 by including it in the March 1 cumulative update KB4482887 for the version of Windows 10…

“When all relevant kernel-mode binaries are compiled with retpoline, we’ve measured ~25% speedup in Office app launch times and up to 1.5-2x improved throughput in the Diskspd (storage) and NTttcp (networking) benchmarks on Broadwell CPUs in our lab.”

Retpoline is not enabled by default on production devices even though it is included in the March 1 update. Microsoft plans to roll out the mitigation over the course of the coming months…

I sure Microsoft hasn’t patched yet the EQUATION EDITOR EXPLOIT – DIFAT OVERFLOW known to Microsoft since May 15, 2018, that can be used to bypass security systems.

About doesn’t present to full version of the OS : 1803 (17134 590)

Got KB4487017 for my 1803 Pro on last Thursday (along with Flash KB 4487038) and for the 6th time KB4023057 (5th on 08-‎Feb-‎19, 4th on ‎02-‎Feb-‎19…).

So far so good with no problems.

Windows Lite is cloud based aimed at Google’ ChromeOS.

Why install 7-zip when you can use the portable version ?

You know that Microsoft’s new ‘AI’ update system hasn’t been build by Spielberg, so it is not sophisticated enough to send you a notice a week ahead. At least there are options like : notify to download updates in group policy..and schedule update and restart.

Didn’t Microsoft baked a keyboard logger into Windows 10 ‘to make the OS better’ ?

Law #1: If a bad guy can persuade you to run his program on your computer, it’s not solely your computer anymore.
Law #2: If a bad guy can alter the operating system on your computer, it’s not your computer anymore.
Law #3: If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it’s not your computer anymore…

That bad guy is Microsoft. While the PC/hardware belongs to the user Windows OS belongs to Microsoft which has full ownership, runs the OS, updates, programs.. alters the OS at will, and has unrestricted access to the computer.
