> Lack of Resources: Debian as a community-driven project lacks the resources to develop and maintain comprehensive security policies comparable to those provided by Red Hat.

And Linux in general has less resources to develop and maintain comprehensive security policies comparable to those provided by Microsoft.

Yet here we are, with Microsoft products so "secure" that they're insecure unless you have a PHd in b****, being so convoluted and over-built that people have to migrate away from it just to recover the actual security they used to enjoy back when they were able to wrap their head around the whole stack.

If devs want things to be more secure, stop developing more acronyms and just educate the userbase on the acronyms they already have.

After letting Russians waltz into their C-level emails (as well as those of US gov't 365 users) and steal Windows source code using basic password spraying for over six months before patching the hole, "Microsoft" and "secure" shouldn't be in the same sentence ever again.

Wasn't caught for two months and wasn't fixed until months after. How is Microsoft allowed anywhere *near* the bidding process for gov contracts anymore?
