I always imagine all the Gibson haters are still stuck on this drama from the XP days. Not sure why it was so polarizing, but for what it's worth I don't think "Microsoft understands security." It's not any one person or one thing, it's the culture. It's the laissez-faire attitude. It's the lack of investment. And the ubiquity of their software compounds all of it.

Has he done anything of note since? I mean, other than the extremely timely spinrite podcast? Honest question; I browsed through the website and it still seems to be mostly filled with questionable security alarmism from the 200x era.

SQRL and SpinRite are current, and his main works. SpinRite has a new version on the horizon supporting UEFI.

Shields Up is timeless, but doesn't do IPv6 and probably never will. There are some smaller apps that were done recently, less notably. Security Now podcast is ongoing.
