Summary: This keeps happening (the majority of "KNOWN EXPLOITED VULNERABILITIES" just announced by CISA is Microsoft Windows). Will Bill Gates-funded media cover it? If so, how will that be covered? Microsoft knew about these flaws (and told the spy/state partners so they can exploit these). Microsoft did not patch until it was too late and these holes were actively exploited a lot (at least 4 such holes, based on CISA).
Remember that even 15 years ago (more or less, maybe 16 years ago) Canonical appointed a a 'former' Microsoft manager (Spencer) to lead Ubuntu on the desktop
