people just don't pay attention to it. They telegraph these patches for weeks. It is a sign of how smoothly it usually goes that no one cares they are coming.

I get the resistance to change but as someone who works on these things for a living trust me 10 is a far superior OS to 7 when it comes to your typical user. The amount of infections I see on a daily basis went down dramatically with 10. Not to mention the ease of resetting it should something go wrong.

Sometimes patches break things in the world of the PC with endless combinations of hardware. I know it sucks when it bites you but the vast majority of people have little or no problems.

The idea mac has no patch issues is a an old wives tale at this point and for them there is little excuse as they control all of the hardware.

Just one of the many issues they have had.

There is no perfection in the computer world but todays OS's on any side are far superior to anything before them when it comes to stability and security.

When it comes to backups this is something everyone should be doing regardless of OS if your data is important to you, and again today there are a wide variety of easy options for doing that.
