Put the cookies down and pay attention BarbaraHudson, what part of "small business" did you not understand? I didn't say anything about fortune 1000 companies. I said 98% of business is small business... http://sbecouncil.org/about-us...
Yes you could lie and upgrade under the guise of assistive technologies, but I support legal SMALL businesses that actually adhere to policy.
Since you're obviously all knowing, you do know how long Microsoft will support Dynamics GP versions and how long those versions will run on a deprecated OS? I know it's only enterprise accounting software so it's not really important to business ops right?
As far as Fortune 1000 penetration, you're talking out your pie hole, they don't disclose this information. Government isn't even relevant, they're as incompetent as you are.
You're obviously a legend in your own mind, the problem is the other posters and I aren't in your mind and we all recognize your complete and utter ignorance.
You lost any credibility the moment you stated "just don't go to questionable sites".
Now get back in the kitchen where you belong and bake us some cookies.
Except that, Apple has rolled out OPTIONAL updates for the past 10+ years
Tell me more about the OPTIONAL headphone jack.
Okay, I'll tell you more, you have the OPTION not to buy it, you have the OPTION to use a vastly more insecure Android or become an outlaw 1 percenter and use a Windows 10 phone. OR you could by a 6 dollar adapter, just sayin'
Wow, the scariest thing (among many) is that this person's comment was actually tagged "insightful". Insightful regarding what? How ignorant so many users are? Maybe you should reserve your comments for something you actually have some knowledge about, like I dunno, maybe baking cookies?
As already mentioned by other commenters... there is no such thing as "questionable sites", malicious ads respect no site's reputation. There is no such thing as "good AV", zero days respect no AV's reputation.
Businesses don't "rush" into upgrading because of some overzealous technolust, 98% are small business, they often have hundreds of thousands of dollars tied up in accounting and other types of software that MUST be kept up to date or they lose their support. That means keeping their OS up to date as well. Most can't afford enterprise. Left with a choice of upgrading say 40 copies of Windows 7 Pro to 10 for FREE or waiting past deadline and paying $8000, which do you think a small business is going to do?
Don't misconstrue what I'm saying here to mean I like Microsoft, they are the bane of my job. Here is some insight from someone whose livelihood actually depends on keeping these turds polished:
ALWAYS run as limited user. DEFER upgrades. Use O&O Shutup 10 for privacy concerns. Use MULTIPLE brands of layered security throughout infrastructure, most are free for home use and reasonable for small business. I'm not going to list brands of door locks that I use except for the most important one... Invincea Endpoint! Their product has stopped ALL malware infections for 3 years running since the day I deployed it on all of the group of companies I protect. Sandboxie is their freeware for home use. I receive no compensation from them but I do gladly pay them.
It's called a "ping" and there's a perfectly good explanation for who is doing it and why... you can lead them to google but you can't make them search.
