Yep I do realize that.

And I still have the same opinion.

You’re in the UK, so you’re not bound by GDPR… but a whole lot of places and orgs that are bound by GDPR realize that MSFT products indeed are a joke from a data security standpoint, and are actively transitioning to linux or at the very least FOSS software.

I am in the US.

I literally used to work for MSFT, a few of their different locations around Seattle.

They are a fucking insane mess, internally, organizationally.

I worked with people, old timers who’d just casually tell me:

‘Oh yeah back before Desert Storm, I was out in Saudi Arabia flashing the BIOS of computer hardware that was bound to be installed in Saddam’s C&C and Air Defense Radar networks, some months later when time came for the air sorties, somebody else just flipped a switch and down goes all their radars!’

Aka a supply chain attack.

Aka, unless your definition of ‘data security’ is ‘the NSA has all my data’, then MSFT products are rather dubious at providing data security.
