MS Windows is a lot more open than Android. Any Windows program you run can access any of your data, without any constraints. Most users, who do not carefully review every piece of code they run, probably like a more constrained environment, so "any program can do anything" cannot happen.
- crabbone 4y agoYeah... I guess, Microsoft couldn't have dreamed about putting their users into such a strict jail as was made possible by the advent of iPhone and later Android. Especially so due to having a free alternative that, if they pushed too hard, might have become more attractive to their users. They were also sued more than Android have been so far. And the legislation has still to pick up steam to crack on the scam that some of the Android (or iPhone) parts are. Unfortunately, legislation needs to have much more technological sophistication that they currently have to be able to deal with this. :(
