I think the whole "moving security tools on a vm that will eat up cpu cores" will be the issue to watch this year on Windows 11. There's a lot of these new crazy Windows features (that reveal why Microsoft set a hard line on the age of hardware that can be used going forward) that have the potential to be breaking points for various segments of the Windows userbase. But maybe I'm just blindly optimistic, and Microsoft has studied windows users enough to know how much they can abuse them.
- pjmlp 4y agoWith my security hat on, many of those features are more than welcomed by SecDevOps, specially when many insist writing software in languages like C and C++ is still the way to go.
- 7speter 4y agoMaybe this is old and outdated, but isn't Linux mostly just more secure that WIndows based on how it's designed (I'm thinking mainly about how administrative tasks require sudo level authorization, btut here's probably more)? YEs, if you have to use linux, it's probably a great thing to have security run features run in a virtual environment, nut I think people who have an old system and don't want to buy a new computer might look at other options that don't just chew up system resources. Sudo doesn't require little cores.
- pjmlp 4y agoNot really, specially after Windows XP security focus. Nowadays Windows even runs critical parts of the kernel and drivers in their own little sandboxes, it uses mostly userspace drivers, and every OS handle has a security descriptor associated with it. Also if running on the network, there are AD group policies that can be really fined tuned to what each user is allowed to access on their computers. Windows NT linage of OSes isn't the same free ride for all than Windows 9x.
