Did you know that Microsoft knows about software vulnerabilities in their Mac software and decided not to patch them? Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio and Web Bixby talk about how some are locked in to Office365 in spite of the risks. The panel also looks at Apple’s decision to scale back screen recording notifications in the upcoming OS release, and whether the dial needs to be turned off even further.
