Where does it say in the article?
Even if it's true, wouldn't it be a good thing, since it probably wouldn't be found otherwise?
Short answer, nothing. Long answer, Mcafee, Norton, Kaspersky, etc. all have divisions devoted to creating viruses to keep the rest of the company profitable. Microslop has been increasingly desperate recently as they hemorrhage users. They have always been a deeply dishonest company dating back to the 90's and IP theft over GUI. I suspect they might be behind the recent push to scare the public of "the dangers" of open source and think of the kids I.D. checks.
To everyone who isn’t wrapping themselves in aluminum, these companies don’t have teams writing viruses. This has been regurgitated around since the 90s and it’s hilariously false.
"divisions devoted to creating viruses"
any source on this?
The hunch on my back
see now when the jews invented capitalism with the catholics and were supressing mans natural instinct for communal living
ummm ummm
you know it all started there
we just need to go back to hegel and marx and that and lenin too
ok bye
Ah yes, Microsoft is so desperate as they hemorrhage users…….
ah yes, because stocks == users, thank you for the clarification
The stock price can mean they don't care about hemorrhaging users. Windows is far from the main thing Microsoft makes money from.
Why would they be desperate while their stock price keeps breaking all time highs?
Microsoft makes basically nothing from windows in the grand scheme of things already.
did i touch your "desperation" button on accident?
maybe you can help me out for a second, so i know what to reply: what exactly did i write?
