"Also Microsoft controls the code they push on your computer, they paid the people who wrote it and they take liability for it. Browsers are automatically pushing other people's code to your computer"
No, Microsoft does not take liability, they expressly disclaim any and all liability in the users agreement.
- DylanDmitri 6y agoThey are indirectly if not legally liable. If they tried something as damaging as Nano Defender here, it would be massive bad PR and they would be forced to backpedal or lose industry trust.
- pietroglyph 6y agoI agree that they’re liable for some things in the court of public opinion (which happens to have a very short attention span and limited agency), but I don’t see how they’re legally liable unless you’re implying that the EULA would be found to be unenforceable in court.
