What counts as ensurance? Simply MS saying "no backdoors" clearly isn't good enough. Open sourcing the whole OS, to make it harder to find backdoors, would help.
- Svenskunganka 9y agoYeah that's the tricky part. I don't think the EU could make Microsoft open source their Windows, but I guess something along the lines of Microsoft having to give access to their source code to a team of EU security researchers that audits and looks for backdoors would be a start. But even that isn't foolproof.
