A differently sounding username would have at least helped your case. :)

Even if Windows kernel security is more robust, anybody can easily fault you for some form of cognitive bias. I use Windows, therefore Windows is more superior.

No, it wouldn't; it is quite obvious that the account was created by a Linux fanboi just to make this lame ironic joke, and that lame account creation just to make a lame (and off-topic) joke is likely why it was flagged.

This is a very weird post. It's like some kind of sith mind trick. "I'd love to know more, but your name implies a connection to the subject matter and we wouldn't want that chuckle taken the wrong way."

>Linux will always lag behind Windows in kernel security

Are you serious about that statement ?

I guess it's not too far from the reality - at least since Windows 10? Windows got a lot of stuff that is better than Linux in that regard. Control flow guard, Device Guard Virtualisation, ALSR - the current stack/heap guard page mess is also solved there. Linux is full of local priv escalation bugs (basically every update fixes one - http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-33/pr...)

I'm not going to agree or disagree on this, but Microsoft's choice to shove all syscalls into a DLL where a defined ABI is easier to maintain certainly makes dramatic security improvements to the kernel easier without breaking userspace.

I am indeed. Linux lacks many of the security features and exploit mitigations present in Windows, despite the efforts of contributors such as grsecurity.

There appears to be no overarching strategy in Linux to improve security, it's all rather haphazard.

I'm upcoming you for good comedy.

With a username of "windows_lover", what can I say?

Bleh. There are enough NSA backdoors in implanted within Windows to the point that any sane person regards Microsoft security as pure theater.

Secrets aren't actually secrets in Windows at all.

Now that's just silliness.

I invite you to provide solid technical evidence of these supposed "NSA backdoors" in Windows.
