There is nothing inherently „broken“ about the security design.

Do you even realise how diluted this sounds? I’m all for watching corporations closely, but the tale you’re telling is simply wrong, and I hope you know that, even if it sure is tempting that you might know better than the rest of the world…



Do you know better than Microsoft itself? Is it not true that Microsoft is tracking your movement across the OS? Is it not true that Microsoft tracks what apps you are running? Is it not true that Microsoft tracks every movement your MS account does? They admit they're doing it - what's your answer to that?


What you’re talking about isn’t the foundational security model of the operating system, but telemetry and tracking systems built into it.

I’m very much opposed to those too, but comparing them to the security model is apples vs. oranges. All I’ve seen so far, is that telemetry doesn’t open up any glaring holes in the security model of the operating system, but I’d be interested if you have any proof of that.


The telemetry is built right into the security model of the OS - thus the security model is broken. OS that betrays me by telling someone what I'm running is insecure.
