Microsoft is rewarded for security, privacy and reliability failures each time a consumer buys another Windows PC.

And, to be fair, so is every other software project with an imperfect track record, that continues to have users, whether FOSS or closed source.

Yeah I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy but every product has security vulnerabilities. If the product is popular enough, then hackers spend time discovering those vulnerabilities.
