I have updates turned off. I don't have any important data on that drive, I just use it for gaming. If I get some kind of virus, I'll just nuke the whole thing and start fresh.

I really wish an alternative to Windows would pop up for gaming.

Depending on what games you're interested in, SteamOS can be a decent alternative: http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/

I'm already dual booting Linux on that machine, but it's just not good enough for the games I'm playing. I'd abandon Windows in a heartbeat.

I'm also using Windows to run Reaper (DAW).
