Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

Hint: there are many attack vectors, including no-click drive-by downloads, programs from Softonic, etc.

Smarter guy here on lemmy calling other people names than all the people at Microsoft.

I'm done here. Bye.
