If you dual-boot, or run Windows 10 or 11 on any of your computers, you should read this item. It describes a vulnerability that could affect any Windows computer anywhere in the world. That’s a lot of users, and yet another reason to drop Windows, and switch to another OS (GNU/Linux, anyone?).

The nicest part of the article:
No patches after six months
Leviev unveiled his “Windows Downdate” downgrade attack six months after reporting the vulnerabilities to Microsoft in February as part of a coordinated responsible disclosure process.
Well, they are busy with making money, they don’t have time to fix it…
It will take a lot more than this!!!
Probably true for most users, but I was commenting about myself. Currently, I’m holding off on dropping Windows until I see what the 2024 upgrade has in store this fall. I’m expecting it to be enough to push me over the edge,
