Microsoft really needs to improve it's various security, both in it's software and on it's websites, before it thinks about releasing Windows 10. I'm by no mean's a Microsoft hater. I've used Windows since 1995 with my 1st pc that had Windows 95, I've use 95, XP, Vista, 8, 8.1 and 10. I've also use various Works Suites, Office 2007, Office 2010 and now Office 365.
The truth is though, that in the past few year's Microsoft's security has drastically gone downhill. MSE and Windows Defender were good when they were first released. Now neither are worth using. Now most recently in the last few month's Xbox Live, Xbox Music, Xbox Videos, Windows Store and Windows Phone Store all have 3 or more outages a week. Come on Microsoft, we here articles about how superior your security labs are, yet we see all these lack-off security based outages & hacks into your websites as of late. It's time to fix those things first. Then worry about the next version of Windows and Office.

It's understandable to have concerns about security, especially when it comes to software and online services. Microsoft has indeed faced challenges in maintaining the security of its products and services, as cyber threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated. Here are some points to consider regarding Microsoft's security measures: 1. Software Security: - Microsoft continuously releases security updates to address vulnerabilities in its software. It's crucial for users to regularly install these updates to protect their systems. - While Windows Defender and MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) are basic security tools, additional layers of security, such as third-party antivirus programs and firewalls, can enhance...

Online Services: - Outages in online services can occur due to a variety of reasons, including technical issues, maintenance, or even cyberattacks. Microsoft continually works to improve the reliability of its online platforms. - Security for online platforms involves numerous factors beyond just software security, including infrastructure resilience and data protection measures. 3. User Awareness: - Users also play a crucial role in enhancing security by following best practices such as using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and being cautious about email scams and phishing attempts. 4. Continuous Improvement: - It's essential for Microsoft to address security concerns promptly and implement robust security measures across all its products and services. - Public feedback, like yours, contributes to driving improvements in security practices. While no system is entirely immune to security risks, Microsoft, like other tech giants, is continuously working to enhance security measures and address emerging threats. Users can also take proactive steps to safeguard their devices and data by staying informed about security best practices and keeping their software up to date.
