Too many bugs and driver issues, not worth upgrading yet.

Security has always been issue with windows OS.

Thats lame they still cant get it right.
If Linux was more user friendly I love to use.
Or if Mac offered more User applications that would be the way to go.

What's funny is that if MAC or Linux would be the mainstream or be used more than windows they would be having security issues.
You people are under the impression that linux and mac are secured and impossible to hack.

I use linux and mac... so I know.. check this out:

http://www.openwall.com/lin...

http://www.apple.com/suppor...

As you can see, both of those OS have to do security patches...
But why would windows have more security issues?

Well, isn't obvious that the OS with 90%+ market share would have 90% of hackers aiming towards finding ways to hack it.

Now that Mac and linux are doing better in terms of marketshares their security risk and patches also increased.

I remember when people use to say that IE was a security nightmare and Firefox was market as secured and people thought it couldn't be hacked.

Here is an example of what's happending now that firefox is gaining so much ground: http://www.mozilla.org/proj...

What I said aboved it was not said to put down MAC, linux or firefox... It was simply to prove that hackers aim at systems with the most users (specially non technical) and the risk and number of attack will depend no necessarily because of the system not being secured but the number of hackers interested in hacking it.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing19d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit19d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing19d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9219d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
