I like how this Forbes writer documented his frustrations with Windows and his rather awesome experience with Ubuntu. I am a Linux super-fan, can you tell?

Luckily, it is not completely impossible to disable Windows Updates altogether. There are a couple of ways to disable these updates. Two actually....

But to me, this is all about the money. Or at least it is for the most part. Office 365 Office 365 is a subscription-based service that currently uses Office 2016 apps, but when Office 2019 is officially released, users get that as part of their subscriptions....
