Do you understand why people might get confused? They don't qualify what they mean by "more secure," and it seems reasonable to criticize the project if their idiosyncratic definition of "secure" actually excludes one of the biggest advances in consumer software security in the last 20 years...
- aspenmayer 4y agoI’m not a dev on the project, fwiw. In any case, if you wanted security in the way you describe, how would you justify running Windows 10 at all? The onus isn’t on this project to secure Windows when they had no part in making it insecure to begin with. If Windows were open source, these measures wouldn’t be necessary, and wouldn’t result in less security. This is the current best effort that the devs can do to accomplish their goals. It’s fair to criticize the goal or the results, but issues you’re describing are present in stock Windows 10 to begin with. I’m sure that some kind of auto build script could be created, so that whenever new Windows Updates are released, a new build is created.
- hedora 4y agoThe biggest advance I can think of is using security as an excuse to gather and monetize data. Different people have different attacker models. I can imagine something like this would be perfect for keeping a mostly airgapped machine to access archives of documents created by Windows. (Or to use legitimately licensed, pre-everything as a service software in perpetuity)
