What about Windows 10?
What's their excuse for results not showing in Windows 10?
Oh that's right - they can't make a search algorithm that works for anything. My mistake.

What a silly comment.
Especially:
"How many people running servers would delay switching from say 7.1 to 7.2 and risk compromise?"
If there's a known security vulnerability, it gets patched and backported pretty quickly. If there's a bug, those also get backported. The idea is your software version stays the same and you can PLAN for the bigger updates. You obviously have no idea how to run servers in a production environment.
I'm not a pentester by any means, but surely, the contract detail is extremely important in these situations. It is literally the only thing stopping you going to prison.
These guys were really unfortunate, but also very lucky to have their charges dropped. I just think, speaking as a non-pentester, these lessons were already learnt within the community and they didn't have to learn the lesson themselves to know this?
I've said this before - you can't uninvent/undiscover maths.
If you put a back door in, the terrorists move to another (or their own) platform using the same technology, leaving everyone else who's innocent open to prying eyes.
Just because you make end to end encryption unlawful doesn't stop criminals from being criminals. Are these people thick?
Allowing a settlement cap like this, or bailing out a failing company just shouldn't be allowed, as they won't learn their lesson.
Capitalism is designed to allow companies to fail and nothing should interfere with this process. Maybe then companies will think twice on things like how they handle your data.
They can force back doors as much as they like, but that’s not going to suddenly uninvent cryptography. Miscreants will just find new platforms or implement their own platforms using the same technology, whilst everyone else can be readily spied upon for no reason, but then that’s obviously their intention, I guess.
