Microsoft has recently signed an agreement with the United States Department of Defense to install Windows 10 on all its 4 million computers, but it turns out that the partnership is going much better than anyone ever imagined.

In a recent interview with Fedscoop, Pentagon's CIO Terry Halvorsen praised Windows 10’s security and recommended employees of the Department of Defense to install Microsoft’s latest operating system on their home computers too.

“If you're using a computer at home and you're not on Windows 10, you're doing yourself an injustice - you ought to be moving to Windows 10,” he said in the interview.

“We're going to put out some guidance to our employees in general - it's not an endorsement of Windows 10 or Microsoft specifically - listing what the characteristics of Windows 10 would give you if you put it in your home system. That's as close to an endorsement as I can get for a software product.”

Windows 10 on as many devices as possible

It goes without saying that such statements help Microsoft bring Windows 10 on as many devices as possible, especially because the software giant’s struggling to convince more people to upgrade.

It makes sense. W10 is the most secure Windows OS to date. Now if only those who don't understand the difference between security and privacy would take the few minutes it takes to learn those differences, we all would be more secure.
