It's a PR disaster for Microsoft, they tried hard to give little specific information and their paid commenters made it worse.
It's time to change for the Microsoft CEO, better release an early 10.1 than burn the Windows brand for generations.
- sliverstorm 11y agoIf you believe this is the keystone issue that is going to permanently stain their reputation and pariah Windows around the globe for decades to come... well, you may be in an echo chamber. I'm not saying it isn't important or a big deal. But- as best I can tell, this is a sideshow compared to some of the offenses that have come before, and in the greater public it seems most people don't even know, let alone care.
- marcosdumay 11y agoHonestly, the only action I can think of that would create a greater stain for Windows reputation is to close itself up, and only permit sandboxed software from a market. MS may reverse things if they act fast, but Windows is mainly a corporation thing (in revenue, if not volume), and corporations care about information security (in a very incompetent way, but they do care). If Windows gets the fame of sending all your data abroad, it will suffer.
