Comment on Ask HN: Could vast amounts of attck vectors be mitigated by moving off MS?

Depending on what your threat profile is, if you are being targeted by nation-state actors, you do not have the best chance of coming out the other side unscathed. I don't think that switching from MS to various open source infrastructure is going to help you, especially when you consider the fairly reasonable reality that most advanced state actors probably have multiple zero days in various software projects stored in case they need to use them.

Ok ok, lets throw java in there with MS then too. :P

Bad jokes aside. From the looks of it most of these vectors are SOHO routers thus not really big corp targets as much as average people too.
