Yeah, because other companies or FOSS have a better track record.

E.g. we can drop Exchange for email for a safe alternative like Sendmail.

Or wuftpd. I once accidentally dropped my keyboard, and it turned out that the keypresses that generated were a remote root exploit for wuftpd.

What are the chances of that happening, that's pretty neat!

Eh, at first I thought so too, but then it turned out my neighbours nan once accidentally hacked the US Navy that way, so after that I didn't feel all that special any more :(

Hehe, that's hilarious.

With wuftpd? P(x)=1

Maybe I’m in a filter bubble, but I’ve never heard of anyone else assigning such low priority to exploits like this.

Yes, Google has a better track record. You brought open source and - totally unrelated - sendmail into it.

Do they? This is just from last month: https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-patches-second-chrome-z...

No, you brought the totally unrelated "Avoid Microsoft for stuff that is important, and don't install their software on your machines if you can help it." as if Microsoft is the only place to ever had a RCE...

That's Chrome, not meet.

As for bringing in unrelated stuff, no that was still within the context of Microsoft's meeting software. It was someone else that brought in the OS.

Reminds me of the old joke: VirusScanner: We found a virus on your machine called Windows. You you like to remove it?

Starting by anything running on top of Electron.

Especially if said machines are actually built by Microsoft.

In which case they may be nice enough to block some of their software for you https://www.techrepublic.com/article/microsoft-blocks-major-...
