If you view Microsoft as a threat to your computer, running random unsigned internet binaries isn't going to make your computer safer, even if you're running Microsoft tools. If a random binary has a 1 in 100 chance of being malware, and a Microsoft binary has a 1 in 50 chance of ignoring your interests in the pursuit of some other gain, running Microsoft binaries doesn't make running random binaries one bit safer. Basically: Microsoft is irrelevant to the equation. You are better off not using Microsoft products if you don't trust them, and considering the safety and security of artefacts produced by random unsigned internet developers independently of the safety and security of artefacts produced by Microsoft. Also, if you're subject to this kind of logical fallacy, you might consider not installing Microsoft products just to avoid the distraction in your reasoning. Every platform will have a different set of trade-offs.
