Microsoft does take security pretty seriously with windows. There have been times they make mistakes, but historically, they are doing better now than they were in the early 2000s before Bill Gates sent a memo noting that they needed to take security seriously. You could argue they take security as serious as any major play like apple and google, seeing they touch a lot of private user data.

And whats the best way to handle private user data? The thing that Microsoft have been headed away from for the last 10 years?
Not only Microsoft. Nobody cares about user data. They all take it and sell it. Permission: Storage. Not folder or file. Storage.
