Dell talks security on its Windows 10 computers

Everytime Microsoft releases a new operating system security comes to the forefront for regular users and especially for IT pros. There are other considerations of course -- usability is a big one after Windows 8 annoyed many customers.

Now Dell is coming out talking of its security features which work in conjunction with Windows 10, the latest and, possibly, greatest OS to come out the doors at Redmond, Washington.

Paul Walsh, CIO at Dell, sums things up -- "We live in a world today where large data breaches and security incidents are on the news every day. One major security incident could really damage a company’s reputation. Dell leads the industry by delivering the most secure PCs in the world and Dell and Microsoft partnered to make sure Windows 10 on Dell is the most secure commercial offering on the market today".

This is marketing hogwash. It just means Dell partnered with McAfee to include a hard-to-remove 12-month subscription for McAfee products whether you want them on your system or not. And it means UEFI's Secure Boot feature is enabled by default, which is a Windows OEM/System Builders license requirement by Microsoft for all factory built computers with pre-installed Windows.
