Open source or not, except for a trivial program like "Hello World,"
there is no such thing and there never has been such a thing, as a
program that is bug-free.

Every day that I read it I am reminded of how right I am to avoid
Win10 if at all possible. To that end, I decided to get a new
computer with Win7pro (it was delivered yesterday) to start
configuring it as a replacement for my 7 year old WinXPpro box.
When/if the WinXP box dies, I want to have a fully configured
replacement ready to go. At my age, this will probably be my last
computer. I'm thankful it's not a Win10 box.

I suggest before doing any updates on your new W7 system, that you
configure it to reject W10 nag alerts and downloads. Microsoft really,
REALLY wants EVERYONE ot run W10, and will do whatever is required to
achieve that goal. So, be cautious.

I don't do updates. In the seven years I've been using WinXPproSP2, I
have never done a single windows update. I don't trust them.

When I got the new Win7Pro box, the first thing I did was turn off
updates _before_ plugging it into the Internet.

"Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away"

Great song, struck a chord with me in the late 60s early 70s.

You go ahead and keep up with the conspiracy theories and evil big
business assertions. I'm pretty sure you have little or no actual
business experience. You nor any of the other big business bashers.

How do you think the infrastructure you are all using was built? Out of
some sort of "gladness of my heart" feeling? It was a desire to do
something unique AND build a business.

Idiots.

The stuff you complain about, on the networks on which you are
complaining, about the networks you are complaining about, only exist
out of a profit motive.

Grow up.
