That's great and all, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. That there isn't a problem of malware/ransomware? Because there certainly is, and for most organizations the risk of malware/ransomware is much more significant than the fact that Windows gets some error reporting and usage statistics and such.
- trelane 4y agoHaving such a supermajority of desktop operating systems in use means you get most of the developer attention. Unfortunately, it seems to surprise folks that malware also has developers responding to the overall market conditions. Microsoft is certainly doing their best to mitigate the negative consequences of the monoculture, but it remains a fact and an issue. Just like in biological systems, diversity in software is also critically important for the health of the population.
