Microsoft claimed it was a poorly named backup key, but skeptics wondered if it was a government backdoor. Watch to learn more about this cybersecurity mystery! youtube.com/watch?v=KQwQ1PZdKI0

#NSAkey, forced updates at the WORST time, licensing a nightmare, the WORST track record in terms of security and malware, endless unnecessary UI changes, backwards compatibility breaks, decades long campaign to denigrate Open Source, embrace-extend-extinguish standards, the list goes on and on.
