I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

So you're saying that they're the criminals in question? Or are you saying that somehow they're selling access to those old MS-DOS APIs?

I'm really not sure how any of this supports the original claim that Microsoft makes APIs specifically for criminal companies. All it says is that they make APIs for themselves. They're a POS company, sure, so there's no reason to stretch the truth.

@sugar_in_your_tea

I never said or meant to imply that.

MS builds backdoors for their own use.
Criminals can use those backdoors.

I quoted your exact words.

@sugar_in_your_tea cute.
A backdoor is not an api.
A proprietary call is justified for competitive reasons but creates vulnerabilities.
Why do you think they exist?
Or do just troll?
