    1. When you can spend a lot on security staff, they’ll probably convince you that your own installation of Windows is sterile.

    2. They probably use Macs.

    3. They might even only use air-gapped machines, with sufficient paranoia.

      Using a Mac wouldn’t be any safer, that’s also an American company. Plus Apple has full control of the hardware as well as the software and they make their own silicon… It’d be even easier for Apple to spy on users than Microsoft, they could even do it with less chance of being detected.

        Not in the sense of it being an American company, but in the sense of it being a bit less of a mess.

        Intentional spying yes of course.

      Security services use things like airgapping, but our politicians talk to each other using WhatsApp…
