Opinionated and usually misinformed. From an FQ thread on whether one should upgrade from Windows 8, they posted this charming reply: > [@Do I really need to upgrade from Windows 8?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-i-really-need-to-upgrade-from-windows-8/980504/9): > > You would be better off to “downgrade” to win 7. I have had that on my laptop for ages (although XP was their best OS)). FWIW, I never allow my computer to update, and took the anti virus off it years ago on the advice of my son in law, who runs the IT dept in a Hawaii school. I go to some very sketchy websites (XXX stuff really), haven’t had a problem at all. ---

I had seen the post and wanted to object vehemently as a former IT guy, but then I saw who posted it and didn’t care anymore because I don’t want to feed a troll. ETA: maybe I should have reported it for spreading obvious falsehoods in FQ. ---

They’re not real old threads, just a month or two since last post. It’s almost as if they got bored and started working their way backwards, rather than going looking for good chain-yanking material.
