Windows 🥇
Open to malicious actors, because of all the bugs.
because of all the opens.
ftfy
Linux has way more CVEs: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/
(Partially because they don’t respect CVEs and assign CVEs to everything)
I think it’s more because companies don’t usually run Windows on their servers. Like, internal domain servers, sure, but their actual services run on Linux, in almost every case.
Bitch I can’t even find basic settings cuz they are so hidden in sub menus
I’m no programmer or UX designer but I can imagine what a mess things are on the dev side
When one backdoor closes, three more open.
The goatse OS, if you will
Shit, I came here to say the same.
Your computer: a yawning maw
We: watch
I did not need that image in my head right now
What about later? Around noon, maybe 1 in the afternoon?
most open to user privacy violations?
Most open for frustration. Most open for ads. Most open for taking away control from the user.
Trust me, in a few years windows will be a monthly subscription, still filled with ads and no control over your own pc. Windows 10 will turn to a yearly subscription already. 30 dollars per year per pc for security updates. Office is already subscription based. Companies smell money, want to turn everything to a subscription.
Windows 360¹ will cost 30 bucks a year (adjusted for inflation) and will automatically upgrade you to the latest version of Windows as soon as it comes out. Additional benefits include improved security by blocking non-Store software and having your OS settings managed by Microsoft – Windows 360 will even automatically restore them if they should end up getting changed, e.g. if Recall somehow ends up disabled.
¹ Not to be confused with Windows 365, which is an entirely different thing.
So nice of them to manage my settings, even restore them when I changed any. Blocking non-store software is also great, forcing people to use the store is something Apple has done forever and totally doesn’t create a monopoly position and never restricts access or anything…
Paying money to give them total control. Are you fucking kidding me. They can shove an entire mid-tower pc case up their asses, lube is only on a subscription base available (1 drop of lube for just 7,99 per month, or 3 drops for a premium subscription of just 18,99 per month!)
These days I’d say Microsoft is getting even worse then Apple with extorting their customers.
Open? Sure, definitely open… To vulnerabilities
Open windows with no screens to keep the bugs out.
Didn’t they call it “the most secure” a while ago?
Why are they allowed to openly lie?
In the case of marketing, it’s just considered an opinion, mostly because if anything like that is ever put forth to a Judge, there’s 900 odd ways to loophole it.
“We meant our assholes, your honor; as open as they come.”
“We meant uhm… accepting.”
It could be called puffery. A claim so ridiculous that no reasonable person would consider it a claim
Their official marketing is to call Windows 11 “the most secure version of Windows ever” or something along those lines. They definitely use “the most secure” in their marketing, but I think they do it in a way where it is only in reference to previous consumer versions of Windows if you actually parse out what is being said.
Right after that slide the guy is talking about how Microsoft is “committed to remaining the most reliable and secure platform”…
Yeah they’re all full of shit
Without walls, you wouldn’t need windows.
Most open to making money at the expense of security.
"“What they were telling me was counterintuitive to everything I’d heard at Microsoft about ‘customer first,’” Harris said. “Now they’re telling me it’s not ‘customer first,’ it’s actually ‘business first.’”
DiCola, Harris’ then-supervisor, told ProPublica the race to dominate the market for new and high-growth areas like the cloud drove the decisions of Microsoft’s product teams. “That is always like, ‘Do whatever it frickin’ takes to win because you have to win.’ Because if you don’t win, it’s much harder to win it back in the future. Customers tend to buy that product forever.”
Who in their right mind would ever think that any publicly traded company is consumer first? Their only goals are short term profit followed long term profits. Everything else is in pursuit of those two things.
Exactly zero fucks are given about long term profit.
If any company cared about long term profit they wouldn’t be destroying the ecosystem.
enshitification cycle: First good for customers, then they abuse their customers in favour of their business customers, then they abuse those businesses to claw back everything for themselves.
They are on step 2.
most open to what? mostopentowhat?!
Most open to “enhancing your operating system experience with special offers and promotional materials”!
Viruses? Malware? Hackers?

Corporations can’t live without bullshit, the irony of this shit is next level
I mean, there are open things about it. As in - TCP/IP is open. APIs to develop Windows programs are open.
In the same way as Solaris, HP/UX, Digital Unix and something else were open. Except Sun would even send OS sources in addition to documentation to customers interested in optimizing something they’d do, or so I’ve heard.
But the “most open” thing looks like 2003 “get the facts” style propaganda, except back then they had technical competencies, now it’s purely the oligopoly.
Most open though? No.

Haha, perfect.
Wait, this is /c/lemmyshitpost, not /c/linuxsucks.
