With the list of old Windows vulnerabilities so extensive Firefox could simply just install Linux for users like that.
Most of them (I assume such VMs don't use browsers) would just click [Agree] and then [Next] a few times, never knowing what was it about, maybe not even noticing any differences.

So, basically Microsoft's "we know what's best for you" style? No. Fuck that, no matter the purpose.
I was joking.
I added the "/s" to be extra clear.
I didn't think of anyone taking that statement seriously (like how wound it even work?).
