Are they going to drop the constant data collection, or is that data collection also considered ‘secure’?
Microsoft admitted that it could have taken steps to prevent two aggressive nation-state cyberattacks from China and Russia
Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the “security nightmare.” Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem, choosing profits over security
Jesus fucking Christ Microsoft.
Edit: OP, the article currently links to page 2, which is a bit odd to read first. Here is page 1.
They also released a borderline useless posix subsystem to get government contracts that only authorized the purchase of posix compliant systems.
Windows subsystem for Linux is pretty much the modern version of that. Before it was partially based on openbsd and called windows subsystem for unix. The original was NT posix subsystem and was hastly hacked together to just barely support the standards required by the US government. If I remember right there was zero user facing utilities it only supported compiling posix compatible code.
It’s quite fascinating history. Also Apple just ported unix system V to Macintosh, heavily modified x server, some Macintosh app compatibility, and called it A/UX. Actually apples version of unix was fully featured and seems nicer than system 7 it ran beside.
