Open to everything except the concept of unix.
In a void, anything can the “The most ____”
Open? Sure, definitely open… To vulnerabilities
Open windows with no screens to keep the bugs out.
Sometimes the elites poke fun at us with obviously untrue, absurd statements. It’s the equivalent of grabbing someone’s fist, pushing it in their face, and saying “stop punching yourself”.
Them corporate elites really love tongue-in-cheek backhanded statements such as that.
I don’t get the people executing the idiotic shit demandednbz the elites.
From their perspective you or and boss of one of their companies has more in common with the homeless person on the street than with them.
Stop respecting them.
Without walls, you wouldn’t need windows.
Open to what exactly…?
OPEN TO WHAT!?
Open to data collection opportunities
Infection, zero days, and data collection. TOTALLY open to those.
Open to advertisers
They’re probably talking about their customers opening their wallets
Nice profile picture!
Everyone but the user.
Our collective anuses.
Open to the outdoors, to let the fresh air in.
As someone who switched to Mac in 2007… viruses!

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.
A probably a bit political for this topic, but most companies are allowed to lie about most things. Only a few things that they’re not allowed to lie about.
and for those few things they’re not allowed to lie about they pull out every trick in the book to come as close to lying as possible without outright doing it.
And even when they are not on paper, they are in fact.
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
Because there are no consequences for them
What happens when you favor marketing over anything else?
You just lie, lie, lie, so many times that you actually believe your own shit
Open for exploits and surveillance
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.
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.
The most open ports
The most open CVEs
The most open complaint threads
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)
Measuring number of CVEs is not a great metric anyway.
Linux is open source, so people can find more things wrong with it and fix it.
It just means that Linux users and developers are more diligent in finding and removing vulnerabilities.
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.
I doubt microsoft will force consumers to pay, but that could happen to business.
edit: italics instead of bold.
Damn, I fucking hate the word “consumer”. It sounds like people are eating their pcs.
You don’t? Really nice with some basil.
It sounds like people are eating their pcs.
Can we find a way to monetize this practice?
Am i not supposed to do that? What’s the point of computers then?
idk
Windows365 is close to release. Subscription based OS without local storage. Not just for businesses.
makes me want to vomit
They are as open as OpenAI
