Just a quick look at 2024's CVEs, 0days for Windows is a security nightmare. Not singling out Windows specifically, but they have a lot.

Browsers only just recently patched browsers being able to be served javascript that scans local devices on 10.* and 192.168.* etc hitting IoT devices with exploits and payloads, hell even hitting open listening sockets on localhost and 0.0.0.0 -- that's cross platform, how many years did that go under the radar?

And now Windows is getting 'Recall' which will monitor and scan your every PC action to remember it for you using ML; I don't see that going back at all /s

Ironically windows was not hit by that, but the "secure"(?) operating systems of mac and linux were.
