Not that weird. Illustrative perhaps. So you and I would have agreed in 2007 that Windows was much better at security than they had been, but we are both pretty tightly connected to the technology market.<p>Today, 8 years later, my Mom and Dad think Windows is a &quot;secure&quot; system as they haven&#x27;t had any issues for long enough that their opinion of it has changed.<p>The final leg of this journey will be when Windows + Windows Defender is all you need to keep your system secure. Basically once there isn&#x27;t a market for add-on security products because the base product is &quot;good enough.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m curious why you mention Google though, their security record on Android is a lot worse than either Windows phone or IOS. In many ways I feel like they are <i>exactly</i> Windows in 2003 with regard to &quot;its secure if you use our APIs&quot; kind of security. Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
