What gives a false sense of security is to say an OS is updated and connected to the internet is secure.
Or maybe should be used the term less-safe? in such case, why don't let the user with an old OS to decide by itself? because MS want the people to use a more monitored SO, and every body is following such wishes.
Are they telling us that at the same moment that a trojan is executed in Windows, this super updated Windows won't get access to any system? Or perhaps it would be better to say that the antivirus programs pre-detection are the ones that keep things more or less under control.
Is it due to the open services? maybe such users have firewalls and all the useless windows services down and blocked. Which is much safer than running one of those updated services in the last Windows OS, waiting for the next 0-day.
All is a non-sense, and those who are helping to corner Win7 are settling a bad precedent that even they themselves will suffer at future... so I wish all of them, bon appetit.
In addition to the reasons given there, continuing would also give people a false sense of security, since an OS with vulnerabilities is dangerous to connect to the Internet even if the applications on it are fully patched.
