A lot of Windows bugs are memory corruption bugs. And those are often severe. Using Rust does actually prevent memory corruption. The rest of Windows is still probably insecure, but any security improvement is good.

Also, the SSD bugs may have been caused by prerelease SSD firmware. With all this back and forth who knows though.
