Microsoft is having a laugh but in fairness- they say that for every OS they release.  If you lie long enough you start to believe it yourself.  :D

We know better here but I do worry about the sheeple that believe them.  I don't think Win 10 has been out long enough to make such a claim so perhaps there is a problem with sales...

**side non-techie thought**

Is it time to short Microsoft?

Subject: [PLUG] "Most Secure" heh heh

despite Microsoft's touting of its latest OS as its "most secure," 
Windows 10 had the highest proportion of vulnerabilities of any OS 
(395), a 46 percent jump from Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 (265 each). Here 
too the Avecto study found that the majority of Windows 10 
vulnerabilities (93 percent) could be mitigated by removing admin rights.
