Black hat paranoia should be employed
Picture the scene. On the one side, representatives - how truly representative we can't know - of a technical underground which regulalrly shafts the most hacked OS on the face of the planet. On the other side, the vendors of the most hacked OS on the planet, representatives of a powerful monopoly already convicted (7 times) of having broken the law, in order to protect and maintain that monopoly.

MS rep - "Here ya go, Mr Hacker. Just install this hand-crafted Microsoft software on your PC, y'know, the one you use for hacking our OS and causing us endless embarrasment and potential loss of revenue, and tell us what you think (hurrr hurrr hurrrr)

Hacker - "Sure!"
