RE: Mircrosoft is spying on you.
I still use windows, was a beta tester once upon a time. Im not convinced by linux, i do use it on my servers but the amount of times my servers get hacked in comparison to my windows machine is quite scary for me.
I fully agree we need to go fully open source, but im of the mindset we need to build a ground up OS that has no vulnerabilities, yes i know im asking the almost impossible, but if we want to be secure we have to do it or make the best of what we have.
It also concerns me how many people are migrating to linux with zero understanding, they are potentially unlocking all their defences and saying hack me :/
Windows is good for some things and linux is good for others. There are also many other operating systems out in the marketplace, which I know you know of. Any system can get hacked theoretically and nothing is truly secure.
I agree, the internet is in dire need of a simple secure OS that is open source but as you said, it may be too much to ask now. We are definitely pushing that envelope though and increasing awareness to it.
Yes, people need to understand what they're doing. But what % of us actually read the instructions? lol
Thanks for the reply!
