After two years on Unix systems using Windows makes me sick but I still need a bootcamp install on my mac
What's the most stable, least NSA-ridden option?

Vista
7

Is it secure?
>>53321814
If you want security, you have to be on the latest version. What do you think Microsoft has a team of engineers applying security fixes to all legacy OS's in perpetuity? XP isn't even supported anymore.
>>53321814
No. No windows is ever secure. All of them are botnet with a backdoor. You are only choosing a lesser evil.
>>53321387
Why do you NEED Windows? Even so use a fucking vm
>>53321825
Windows 10 is buggy as fuck fàm
>>53321905
That maybe so, but guess what happens when a new security vulnerability is discovered in XP? There are no bug fixes, no patches, the machines remain insecure. On the latest OS, a patch is rolled out every Tuesday.
>>53321953
Sure... Can you provide changelogs to prove that?
>>53322021
Yes

Windows 7 SP1
I only did a few essential updates for gaming
I did not install anything marked "security updates"
And then I turned updates off completely so all you see is (null), put on tinywall and peerblock, and no problems whatsoever
still boots to desktop in 5s
>>53321387
8.1 is fine, make sure to install tiny wall and also disable hibernation to free lots of disk space.

GNU's not UNIX
>>53322035
OK, fair enough. And can you that those patches do what they say they do?
>>53323546
... can you prove*
>>53322211
Same, security updates allowing botnet
>>53322831
It's basically the same shit.
