Theres a proof of concept exploit that allows a VM to access the host and other VM's. A classic breakout exploit.

Cloud providers will be shitting themselves over this.

Hell yeah, I recently had problems with keepalived starting before OVS network interfaces were ready. It was trivally easy to lookup systemd docs and examples to add a service timer that delayed it, that would survive apt updates.

Yah that was my first thought to. Problem with KDE was the complete fuckup the devs made of explaining and implementing it. I suspect even most of the devs had no idea what they were meant to be. I really tried with activities, but as with most cool KDE features it was never fully implemented, what was implemented was half assed, buggy, undocumented and eventually abandoned.

I have more faith in MS actually making something out of this, from the demo they already seem to have it clearly defined and usable. I just hope it will include non-ms apps, I need to be able to use firefox and thunderbird with this.

Try pushing that change out to several thousand desktops, all running different version of linux/DE, when only some of them are online at any one time.

AD rules for managing this sort of stuff, fanbois cries aside, linux had nothing comparable.

Nearly a third of millennials are complete idiots.

He'll be telling us Rust is webscale next

They would have been safe! because you know, Linux!

And who cares if a windows server got infected because it was never patched - still all windows fault!

Ok, I'll bite - demonstrate this - with peer reviewed evidence please, not just "Because I say so" or "Everybody knows"

There are a *lot* of NAS devices out there running linux with default SMB shares. Updates take some time for them to be prepared - if they are at all. Even longer for them to be installed by users - if they are at all.

Worse, there are probably even more MFD's (Copy/Scan/Print/Fax) devices in every business, corporate, enterprise etc. And they almost all run embedded linux with Samba and default shares, for document storage, scans, secure print etc. And they will almost never be updated - Canon, Ricoh, Xerox, Sharp, Toshiba etc.

It releases a lot less carbon than their existing coal fired plants and shit load less particulates, so a big improvement in that regard.

I guess the danger is that it could slow their move to renewables.

Just wrong. Another dumb ass ignorant article form a twerp who think they have some work experience.

Given we run 30 windows Vm's on a 3 node KVM cluster (Proxmox) I'd say someone had no idea how to configure windows for virtualisation. It runs just fine, windows 7, 2008/R2 and 10, desktop and servers.

Xeon E5-2620, 64GB RAM

On punch cards. We had to post them from our country school to a data center in the nearest town (Invercargill) who would run them and post the output back. Turn around for bug fixes was a week.

And for once, not a fault of the editors - that is a truly ridiculous collection of buzzwords and "services", but they seem necessary.

Bogus clickbait article that is plain wrong. Its counting *Windows PC's* that are connected via mobile data as mobile phones, given the dominance of them in the desktop market and that most virus are targeted at desktop of course they dominate stats.

Given the tiny % of Windows Mobile phones it is obviously quite ridiculous to claim they account for 80% of malware. I'm not aware of any real windows mobile malware.

The vast majority of mobile malware is Android, because of its market dominance, pathetic security model and total lack of security updates.
