I used to point out that, if Linux were on hundreds of millions of desktops, it, too, would be under assault from large numbers of motivated hackers from sketchy countries, and would not be anywhere near as bullet proof as POMSPPP (Pee-ers On Microsoft Products Proudly Pontificated.)

You were security through obscurity. Welcome to the edge of the big boys club.

"Ah, hell. We corrupt politicians are really playing a gymnast's game of Twister, right foot don't drive AI from state! Left foot toss something to entrenched taxi interests we are corrupt for and beholden to! Right hand don't piss off voters! Left hand launch talking heads about race to the bottom!

My own company just moved to online version of Office 365. What that means for me is 4s lag when I hit ctrl-f in Word to search before I can search, then another 4s waiting for it to start searching.

The odd part is they appeared to do extra work so I could bit ctrl-f then start typing immediately, and all that gets buffered and processed eventually, rather than enter some void mode where the user has to wait for the prompt to appear in the find window, and only then start accepting typing.

Which means they know about this problem and are pushing onward anyway.
