Microsoft president blasts NSA for its role in 'WannaCry' computer ransom attack

Meanwhile Russian services are wreaking havoc to democracies around the world (as US+Euro services stay home with their hands tied), probably involved in blood diamond crimes in Africa and murders of political rivals of their puppets across the globe, and you guys are here discussing nonsense when Microsoft is trying to cover its ass for demanding payments for critical software updates that they won't patch in their old windows.

They're holding you ransom, by refusing to patch your old windows software. Demanding you buy new versions of Windows. They refuse critical vulnerability updates (I'm not talking about updates in general... CRITICAL vulnerability updates, errors/flaws in their code that is 100% their own fault, that leads to hacks. They literally refused automatic updates to Windows 7 users, which is a recent OS, I'm not talking old stuff).

And they also have software like the what was it, point-share? one of the most insecure sites that they sell to governments, corporations, and critical services around the world?

Covering its ass with the fact that they've eaten up billions of dollars from customers AND governments around the world....... while they refuse to make their OS as secure as Linux.
