No one remembers how vulnerable windows server and windows desktop OS’s were before they revamped updates?
Forced updates are great. The internet is safer.
Why did they write such shit software in the first place? No, they don't get off the hook.
All software is either shit to begin with or becomes shit when it gets big enough. If a Linux distro were forced to maintain as much legacy cruft as Windows it would be shit too.
False dichotomy. That was a business decision with externalities foisted upon users.
