  No no, that’s the point. To infect as many computers as absolutely possible, all clogging down every network, and eventually microsoft will have to address the issues.

  What do you care? I assume you’re on linux and wouldn’t be affected either way.

    You seem to have a lot more faith in microsoft than I do.

    My concern is the likelyhood that companies using MS products will cut corners by using deprecated/unsupported OSs for years after the last security patch, which will lead to security breaches for many consumers.

    Not on Linux yet, but I really need to make the switch soon. Will be nice to actually have some semblance of control over my own personal devices.

      That likelihood is high, real and current.
