I'm sure this is great move for Microsoft, but is it for the consumer? Do we really need windows, the favorite target of spyware, adware, malware, hijacks, etc. to be compatible with all devices? Do we feel the need to upgrade from 7/8?
I dont really buy into the hype here.

I have been using Windows 8 since the beta testing period, not having any seperate antivirus program installed, and I haven´t encountered one, single problem with spyware or viruses. I might have had some but not that I have noticed. I think MS really upped the security with W8.


Try running spy-bot search and destroy. Ad-aware aswell. I am sure you will have stuff in there. There is basically no way to escape it unless you simply dont use the internet. Some are less intrusive than others, but it doesnt mean they arent there. Keyloggers for example are silent but deadly.
