I sometimes wonder if the Microsoft haters are in a bubble or if people who remember just how fucked up Microsoft was are just starting to age out at this point. I would like to think that Anyone who follows security related news and current tech news are also aware just how shit Microsoft is (and always was), but again, I migjt be very biased lol
Me, and the rest of the member of the various unix enthusit groups I belong to, would never ever ever want anything to do with Microsoft unless we are forced to use it for some stupid reason.
For all we know, there might have been one person high up in the chain of command that is not aware just how fucking bad Microsoft is.
I have a feeling a lot of people will be asking NASA a lot of questions about it, now that there is a huge spotlight on it.
I have a foot on both sides of the fence. I work with MS products for a living, doing all sorts of stuff with AD - ask me specifics if you actually want to know - but I run Linux at home. Arch on my laptop, a variant on my NAS, a very scaled down one thing on a terminal, and I started my whole computer world on FreeBSD 2.2.2 back in 1997.
People in NASA who do real work know. They’re like everyone else. They just don’t have clout. So, if a C-level dipshit says “We’re using Outlook on the space ship,” that’s that.
