I'm not upgrading either. There are still countless people and businesses using XP. Maybe the hackers gave up on XP since nobody is supposed to be using it since MS dropped support?

I'm not apologizing if this comes off as conspiracy, but you guys shouldn't be naive or forget that Microsoft is a business and if they lose sales of Win 10 to their own previous OS discovered by their own marketing and statistic department, then of course generating some hype or hysteria would help sales.  After all, a dollar for MS isn't a dollar for MS if it interferes with a new product roll out.  

I'm not saying these "randomwares" aren't real, I'm just saying take it with salt; I've never (yet) experienced it, while someone else could have and then got Windows 10 (congratulations to MS for the successful campaign).

If I get Windows 10, it won't be because I'm afraid my current OS is up for grabs, is has to be because I want the features and support of new applications that MS is trying to isolate to make the OS more appealing.  I'd like to think the rest of you that went on to 10 did it because you wanted to, not because MS' scare tactics about your previous OS worked.

This is like Samsung sending out a report that they made telling you how safe the note 7 is along with a pie graph to prove it.

Just fearmongering by Microsoft to push users to windows 10. What i don't get is why doesn't the NSA or FBI track down people doing ransomeware.

Because they would expose people that would get them fired, like people with private email servers and people related to those people... in high places.

If Windows 7 is soooo dangerous and everybody hates Windows 10, the obvious solution would be to re-release Windows 7 new and improved version next year and call it Windows 17. Makes sense to me anyway.

How about MS quit this SNOOPING CRAP, Give us our Start Menu back and we call it good?

It seemed more like a billboard flashing advertisements than it resembled a Start Menu. That's just my opinion after only being able to stomach Windows 10 for a very short period of time before having to roll back to Windows 7. It was a life or death decision basically. I would rather end it all than be forced to use Windows 10 in its current form with all of the bloatware, addon rubbish for Windows phones which I believe are either extinct or on the endangered species list, more rubbish for XBox owners who were stupid enough to build a gaming PC just so they could hook their XBox up to it and play games on it through their PC (that's PC gaming, right?), and last but not least the intrusive snooping. Whew, that took a lot out of me. I'd better lay down for a nap.
