Have they? We just had printernightmare (CVE-2021-34527) a few months ago. In certain configurations you can even get RCE.

What are you trying to say here? "it's been 10 years so surely they ironed out the critical vulnerabilities (eg. eternal blue) by now. all the vulnerabilities left are probably the lame ones like printnightmare".

I guess the FUD-spreading paranoia-shills are too busy downvoting to actually check the facts.

...which is how this fucking corporatoracy will try to maintain its power. You can point out the very clear and visible truth, but they'll just deny it. Fortunately, the number of people who realise they're being fleeced is slowly rising.

You’re missing the point of why you’re being downvoted. Go actually reply to people engaging you, rather than ranting to yourself.
