I skipped briefly through the entire video and everything I’ve heard and seen was absolute bullshit bingo.
Open to everything except the concept of unix.
Yes. It attracts a lot of viruses and other nasties.
In a void, anything can the “The most ____”
Open? Sure, definitely open… To vulnerabilities
Open windows with no screens to keep the bugs out.
Sometimes the elites poke fun at us with obviously untrue, absurd statements. It’s the equivalent of grabbing someone’s fist, pushing it in their face, and saying “stop punching yourself”.
Them corporate elites really love tongue-in-cheek backhanded statements such as that.

Without walls, you wouldn’t need windows.
Open to what exactly…?
OPEN TO WHAT!?
Open to data collection opportunities
Infection, zero days, and data collection. TOTALLY open to those.
Open to advertisers
They’re probably talking about their customers opening their wallets
Nice profile picture!
Everyone but the user.
Our collective anuses.
Open to the outdoors, to let the fresh air in.
That’s how you cool down the modern cpu.
As someone who switched to Mac in 2007… viruses!

Didn’t they call it “the most secure” a while ago?
Why are they allowed to openly lie?
In the case of marketing, it’s just considered an opinion, mostly because if anything like that is ever put forth to a Judge, there’s 900 odd ways to loophole it.
“We meant our assholes, your honor; as open as they come.”
“We meant uhm… accepting.”
It could be called puffery. A claim so ridiculous that no reasonable person would consider it a claim
A probably a bit political for this topic, but most companies are allowed to lie about most things. Only a few things that they’re not allowed to lie about.
and for those few things they’re not allowed to lie about they pull out every trick in the book to come as close to lying as possible without outright doing it.
And even when they are not on paper, they are in fact.
Their official marketing is to call Windows 11 “the most secure version of Windows ever” or something along those lines. They definitely use “the most secure” in their marketing, but I think they do it in a way where it is only in reference to previous consumer versions of Windows if you actually parse out what is being said.
Right after that slide the guy is talking about how Microsoft is “committed to remaining the most reliable and secure platform”…
Yeah they’re all full of shit
Because there are no consequences for them
What happens when you favor marketing over anything else?
You just lie, lie, lie, so many times that you actually believe your own shit
The most open ports
The most open CVEs
The most open complaint threads
Windows 🥇
Open to malicious actors, because of all the bugs.
because of all the opens.
ftfy
Linux has way more CVEs: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/
(Partially because they don’t respect CVEs and assign CVEs to everything)
Measuring number of CVEs is not a great metric anyway.
Linux is open source, so people can find more things wrong with it and fix it.
It just means that Linux users and developers are more diligent in finding and removing vulnerabilities.
Bitch I can’t even find basic settings cuz they are so hidden in sub menus
I’m no programmer or UX designer but I can imagine what a mess things are on the dev side
As an admin it gets so much worse. Twice a year your admin portal gets renamed, redesigned, merged with and/or split from another one, or removed, and all those changes are done halfway.
Which means some settings are only on the old version and others only on the new. Then the old one is discontinued even though the new one doesn’t have all its functions, yet.
So you completely rely on Powershell. But wait, there’s 2 incompatible versions of it now.I’m currently thinking about a career change, after reading in Microsoft’s official documentation that you need to install the new version of Powershell, import the beta version of several commandlets and then run a long script provided by them, only to keep every user on your org from creating their own Teams teams.
And their newest feature is allowing every user to put in their credit card info and buy MS products on the company domain without running it by IT. It’s called “self service”, enabled by default, and you have to click on a slider to disable it individually for every. single. product. Microsoft. offers.Jesus Christ.
I’ve been doing linux admin and honestly I haven’t been looking back. My breaking point was Microsoft pushing a kb that rebooted domain controllers for no reason.
I still remember the update that sent domain controllers into a bootloop.
That was fun!And the one that bluescreened all Windows servers.
No, the other one!Oh, and the one that did an in-place-upgrade by itself, then locked your server cause it wasn’t licensed for the new OS version.
If we can generate energy from outrage, /r/sysadmin could’ve powered the whole planet multiple times in the last 6-8 years.
I love how this doesn’t even begin to cover bad kbs ms pushed out. The fact that windows admins think testing updates before deploying them is a routine operation that should always be done boggles my mind.
Oh, and the one that did an in-place-upgrade by itself, then locked your server cause it wasn’t licensed for the new OS version.
Wasn’t that primarily an issue with a third party software? And the server shouldn’t be locked by now since I believe you get a trial period of a few months. Our servers didn’t upgrade to 2025 but we use WSUS.
Or are you talking about something older?
The third party software did exactly what it was designed to do:
Push security updates automatically, while holding back feature updates for testing.
This is standard operating procedure. Security updates are not supposed to change anything about how a server works, so the risk of breakage is very low.
And they need to be installed as fast as possible, to patch holes that are now known to every attacker.Microsoft were the ones who pushed out a new Server OS installation and labelled it as security update.
I’m shopping for an MSP that is Linux-centric. 70 workstations and a handful of servers but I will drop MS in a heartbeat if I had the right support to fall back on.
And their newest feature is allowing every user to put in their credit card info and buy MS products on the company domain without running it by IT. It’s called “self service”, enabled by default, and you have to click on a slider to disable it individually for every. single. product. Microsoft. offers.
LMAO that is a special kind of pathetic
It’s maddening, cause it’s so blindingly obvious what went on in their minds when they implemented it that way.
“If just 0.1% of the users do that, it’ll make us $XX million. Can you design a popup for it that we can show all users when they open Teams?”It tells me as an admin that the software I manage as my career isn’t designed to be useful anymore. It’s only designed to extract the maximum amount of money.
It also tells me it’s time to get off this ride, cause Microsoft is evidently pushing towards a future where they administer the system, not me.
What the hell‽ Also who would buy Microsoft products for work with their own card‽
Middle management building a shadow IT. They’ll have their own company credit card for their department.
