I've actually been wanting to switch to windows 10 lately...
Now's as good a time as any.

If MS relies on being closed source for security, we all have bigger issues.
Wouldn't surprise me even if this didn't happenWelp. Looking forward to that free upgrade to Windows 11 I guess
That would be one interesting thing to find out, yeah. Just how integrated are the prism project requirements or whatever. For decades people have been saying Windows is not safe because of things like intentional backdoors or storing information in hard to remove ways that could be a problem for your security. If nothing else good comes of this... I want people to find out just how true some of this is.Maybe we'll know how MS is spying on us now.
But I want to play the video games
Maybe we'll know how MS is spying on us now.
Fix what??
Can someone explain? Should I not use my windows 10 matchine? I have a MacBook I can use, just wondering.
Photoshop is the best game ever.
Probably the same way as Google, Facebook, Apple, etc etc
Some of us like to play games.
Ah thank you, I'll just err on the side of caution. Thanks for this post!In the (very) short term, your Windows 10 machine is fine. Depending on the extent of the leak, it's possible that nefarious types may find new attack vectors to take advantage of for distributing their viruses and malware. It could be weeks before things start showing up, or it could be days.
Also, if Windows 10 is affected, many of the same issues found will affect Windows 7 and 8 also due to the large amount of shared code. All we can do is keep our patches up to date and wait to see what gets found.
Fix Win10's security from those who wish to abuse this leak. From what I understand the source code in its entirely has leaked, making it much easier for those with malicious intent to study it and attack the OS.

This is believed to contain the code for Shared Source Kit, which includes the source for Windows 10's hardware drivers alongside PnP code, USB and Wi-Fi stacks, storage drivers, and ARM-specific OneCore kernel code.
It's right in the OP that this isn't the entire set of source code for the OS:
Windows 10 "True" China Edition incoming.It's more a problem from code theft perspective, if that even really matters anymore.
The security isn't any different, anything that would be found by nefarious actors would be there in any case and have to be patched when found. Decompilers are as old as compilers.

It's probably time to backup and change your OS.
Leak me if Old
Windows 10 "True" China Edition incoming.
Thank god I still got 7
How can Microsoft fix this?
Only some.Some of us like to play games.
Mint has poor security (server hack, monthly patch structure). Do Ubuntu or something.Linux Mint for me. Only reason I'm using Windows right now is because unfortunately my old portable HDD that had linux on it died. :?
They may not care, which is why I tend to not complain about dozens of things Windows continue to miss inspite of apple or Linux improving on them.I've been using it since 3.1, it sure as hell isn't my favourite. It doesn't take an expert to see the issues.
Lol no. You can use it fine.Can someone explain? Should I not use my windows 10 matchine? I have a MacBook I can use, just wondering.
To what?
