Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Windows might not be the ideal privacy solution, but it’s often not something that people can reasonably change.

It takes work to relearn an operating system. People’s work applications may not function outside of windows. Virtualization and emulation are not perfect.

I’m so glad yall found yet another “windows bad Linux good” avenue.

@free Yep, thats why people invest a lot of time which have much more technical understanding than you have to create products to improve the privacy problem on Windows, Privacy isn't a privilege which only a specific group of human is allowed to have, Privacy is a human right and should be accessable for everyone. If you miss the understanding for that, I would recommend informing yourself better then spreading false information.

Microsoft: Cool, now we know what communities care about Tor on our OS. Time to pass this info onto the alphabet groups.

Glad this got cleared up. Surprised there wasn't a louder more public notice from the Tor group. Despite what people want, windows is a major platform with many tor users.
