Oh, poor Microsoft is forced to use bad bad C-Linux on their Interweb service!
All while their own industrial strength C++-OS (according to you) never has any exploits.
The fact that you are singling out Linux shows that you are only interested in throwing dirt.
- sayusasugi 6y agoAre you joking? Both C and C++ are equally littered with unsafe "features".
- pjmlp 6y agoI can give you as many UNIX security exploit examples as you feel like having, no need to single out Linux.
- amakk 6y agoIt is not about UNIX vs. Linux, it is about the fact that you are always protecting Microsoft, like just now. I wonder why.
- pjmlp 6y agoSomeone woke up in the 90's it seems. Here is a little tip for you, Microsoft has been acknowledging security issues with C and C++ since the XP SP2 days. Which is why Windows happens to have plenty of mitigations that only recently FOSS UNIX clones are catching up to. Yet they have come public that hasn't been enough, hence the migration effort away from C, enforcing programming guidelines with C++ and coming up with plans to migrate to safer systems programming languages. Guess which OS vendor is now having first party support for writing GUIs in Rust? But I can also rephrase what Oracle, Apple and Google have stated in the same vein regarding OS security. Or maybe you prefer the statements of an UNIX hero instead?
