    Well now you’re just blatantly lying. Windows doesn’t execute anything without you asking it to. The difference is that it works when you do.

      I think you misunderstood. It will anything whether it should or not. Also, other processes can execute a thing even if it shouldn’t. It can be made to execute a payload that shouldn’t be run.

        I didn’t.

        It will anything whether it should or not.

        It does what it’s told, which is the way an OS should work.

        It can be made to execute a payload that shouldn’t be run.

        And Linux can’t? Isn’t that the whole thing about Linux and open software is that it can be made to do whatever you want?
