Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?
A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.
Windows hasnt quite felt as risky as it does now, that I can remember at least.
Luckily my company outsourced the IT security department to India and have since had a handful of breaches and zero remediation efforts. I’m sure this windows stuff is firmly in the “care later” bin.
