That's pretty much my point. If a person's standard of safety is blindly running code from the reckless idiots at Windows Update I'm surprised they'd balk at running an executable whose only reputation is word of mouth. I wouldn't do either.
Basically: Microsoft is irrelevant to the equation.
You are better off not using Microsoft products if you don't trust them, and considering the safety and security of artefacts produced by random unsigned internet developers independently of the safety and security of artefacts produced by Microsoft.
Also, if you're subject to this kind of logical fallacy, you might consider not installing Microsoft products just to avoid the distraction in your reasoning. Every platform will have a different set of trade-offs.
