>Which can be an advantage. I've been wasting a month battling a bug in the ARG library that got introduced in a Windows 10 update. If there are no updates there is less chance it will break something along the way.

Can also be a disadvantage

What OS gets everything right? Look at latest Apple updates that locked phones. And as Apple controls the hardware, they should have gotten this right. With Windows, there are thousands of hardware configurations and it's impossible to test every possible combination.

And that *could* be overkill with Windows 10 as it's much more secure by default than Windows 7. It's *possible* that users can get by without any AV in Win10. Adding an AV decreases system resources for applications. That can be a disadvantage.

Many enterprises are moving away from ActiveX components

>Enterprise environments still will wait one or more years. the latest update proves they are right. Many of them just moved from XP to 7. They won't bite the bullet yet to go to Windows 10. Preferably they'll wait until other have solved certain problems. There are no compelling reasons for any self respecting company to rush to Windows 10. Windows 7 works just fine and will be for the foreable future.

Many enterprises don't upgrade across all computers, instead opting for a phased upgrade and hardware is replaced. That means a three to four year upgrade path.
