Heh, remember Windows ME,,,? Then early XP?
Microsoft tends to work closely cyclically on security, improving when enough eyes are watching and it’s in it’s commercial interest, for example around 2008/9 we saw a huge uptick in application attacks particularly adobe because of the increased work going into widows in version Seven(yes it was NT 6.1) but that arguably stated in Vista, it just took a long time to feed through.
They’ll need to address this operationally before the market/regulation demands they engineer things properly. Different area, similar root cause, short term commercials driving things.
