Mostopentowatch
Most open to “enhancing your operating system experience with special offers and promotional materials”!
Viruses? Malware? Hackers?
* for Hackers
Thanks for this. I needed a good laugh today.
Guys, come on. They clearly meant it in terms of security.
“Come on in, hackers, we’re always open.”
A lineage which dates back to at least 1998.
Ugh, if most of my shit would actually run on Linux I would’ve switched years ago…
Open for exploits and surveillance
This cannot be real
Excuse me while I puke
Windows, now without curtains!
whenever someone holds their hands like that when giving a talk, they’re trying to feed you a plate of shit
I disagree. Holding your hands like this is just a good way to not stand still.
Using this kind of open stance, from my experience, makes presenting easier and makes me more confident.
But yes, presenting peeps from BigEvilCo make it way worse.
Didn’t they call it “the most secure” a while ago?
Why are they allowed to openly lie?
In the case of marketing, it’s just considered an opinion, mostly because if anything like that is ever put forth to a Judge, there’s 900 odd ways to loophole it.
“We meant our assholes, your honor; as open as they come.”
“We meant uhm… accepting.”
It could be called puffery. A claim so ridiculous that no reasonable person would consider it a claim
A probably a bit political for this topic, but most companies are allowed to lie about most things. Only a few things that they’re not allowed to lie about.
and for those few things they’re not allowed to lie about they pull out every trick in the book to come as close to lying as possible without outright doing it.
And even when they are not on paper, they are in fact.
Their official marketing is to call Windows 11 “the most secure version of Windows ever” or something along those lines. They definitely use “the most secure” in their marketing, but I think they do it in a way where it is only in reference to previous consumer versions of Windows if you actually parse out what is being said.
Right after that slide the guy is talking about how Microsoft is “committed to remaining the most reliable and secure platform”…
Yeah they’re all full of shit
Because there are no consequences for them
don’t give them ads, don’t upvote these posts
When one backdoor closes, three more open.
