     You're getting more glib and adversarial with each post.   
   The risks with Windows depend on a lot of things. As does   
   the risk with anything. Computers are not hacked by pixies.   
   They're hacked by people exploiting network communication   
   methods that are inherently unsafe.   
      
      If you don't want to deal with that directly then the best   
   you can do is to allow the dripfeed updates, run anti-virus,   
   minimize valuable data that you allow on your computer,   
   like credit card numbers, and hope that some update doesn't   
   break your system. If you're actually going to deal with   
   security it's more complicated.
