It is time to abandon Microsoft.

While I do think it's wise for people to start looking at alternatives, I don't think this specific news should sway one way or another.

Windows (like Linux or macos) contains an enormous amount of code, and with large code-bases you're certain to have security issues.

Finding these security issues and fixing them seems like a good idea, no matter how much you love or hate Windows.

Code can exist without vulnerabilities. Verifiable proof exists. It is hard, but it is possible.
Microsoft has its place but I’m not sure that includes personal computers anymore.
