Windows 7 is the last Microsoft OS I will run. Never used it for work anyways and very rarely game anymore. Maybe I can even find a way to run BNet on Linux. You can have all the freedom you want. Nobody is forcing you to use those programs.

According to this if you're careless about installing all windows updates 7 and 8 will do the same:

Fortunately most or all of those updates are "Optional", in particular the two mentioned in the main body of the articlen (KB3075249 and KB3080149). So if you're set up to only install "important" updates you'll have skipped them, as I did.

I got fed up with Windows when XP was released. I've been running 64bit Linux since.
