Hold your horses there my good friend. Yes, Windows is better now than it was in the past but is still a shitty OS. None of them are actually. All of them continuously fail every single year at hackers gathering/hackatons/whatever public event, with multiple zero-day showing. Every single major OS out there is a joke from security point of view.

This. Parent it's deluded if Windows can even be compared to a hardenex Guix setup with rollbacks and sandboxed Chromium/Icecat's.

I would think otherwise if Windows used virtualisation and sandboxing to run old Win32 apps from XP and below. Because lots of enterprise software depends on proper compatibility modes, and there the security gets thrown out of the window.
