Windows now broadcasts and collects information about what you type in when you search for programs (in charm/modern shell).

That doesn't mean it goes 'upstream'. But it is startling how far we've come. I remember the days when nobody trusted the internet - not even with their credit card.

Now its hard to trust your Operating System to run a program.

    Now its hard to trust your Operating System to run a program.

If you use Windows, yes. I live in a Microsoft-free household, using floss systems makes your life in some ways easier.

TS//SI//REL) Currently CASTLECRASHER is the only production quality Windows execution technique that Payload Persistence techniques have. Another mechanism to execute DNT payloads is needed. Most pre-boot Persistence techniques only have the ability to influence an OS through modifications to the target file system. Work needs to be done to investigate other ways to get execution inside of Windows

I run Windows solely for playing games. If I could run games without issue on Linux I would drop Windows in a heartbeat.

That said, I do use Debian or Slackware on other machines and my laptop.

I'm gaming on Debian, and it's working quite well, and I'm even using the radeonsi drivers.

There are so many games in my Steam library that don't work on Linux at all though.

I could use Wine I suppose but it's not ideal.
