Microsoft: "Only one way to find out!"

I wouldn't put it past 'em at this point. Remember the underhanded tactics that they used to spread Windows 10, and remember how, near the end, the guy who works for MS even said that they crossed the line? Its kind of like a kid bragging when he breaks the rules and doesn't get in trouble because the teacher favors him. The government wants data about us as much as Microsoft does, so they looked the other way while all of this was going on.

My sympathies to all IT departments that now run like crazy to fix shit because incompetent employees opened infected email attachments . I hope the board of directors in the affected businesses and public services will see the light and drop Windows.

They will find the cheapest fix. Changing an OS and retraining staff is high up there. Weekly or monthly and maybe even annual backups make more sense

I provide IT support in the education sector. I dread to think what is waiting for me, come Monday.
