I believe that OSX is optimized for Intel's brand of x86 - might have been too much effort to switch vendors when it comes to future kernel support.

Does .NET have a bad reputation for compatibility I don't know about? I thought the only breaking change was with generics in 4.0, still running programs originally compiled for 4.0 with 4.7 installed.

Probably would have been better if Tesla branded it "co-pilot". Autopilot while technically correct doesn't function the way people assume it does.

> In other words, no computers should be infected because Microsoft already dealt with the problem.
I don't know if this conclusion is entirely accurate, I believe a more correct conclusion would be that "no computers that are patched and supported should be at risk of infection from these specific exploits because Microsoft already dealt with the problem."
I'd assume most of these infected computers are unpatched, unless someone can replicate the malware on an up to date instance of Windows 7+.
This is probably also why Microsoft have gotten so aggressive with patching and updating for better or for worse. (along with the cost savings internally that come with supporting evergreen software)
