So if a seal of approval was your concern its not here either. Well, for OSX, the main OS hasn’t been audited either. Has the firmware been audited in some way? Has the firmware been audited in some way? Is it maybe open source so you, the person who is using it, can inspect what it does, and how it does it? Does it also receive updates? Is the firmware itself prone to attacks? What else does the firmware do? Does it contain “nasty stuff” like remote-access to installed systems, control for mic and cam, and other means of surveillance? What’s the current state of firmware malware? How about crapware firmware? “But it’s totally safe! And soooo easy to use!” Game over.” It’s not hard to imagine that this kind of attack is also possible when downloading OS installation images or dumps. For all meaningful traffic sent through a compromised router that isn’t HTTPS encrypted, it is 100% game over.” He also quotes: “Compromised router answers DNS req for *. to 3rd party with faked HTTPS cert, you download malware Chrome. He writes: “Router malware is the ultimate man-in-the-middle attack. I’m saying this with the article “Welcome to The Internet of Compromised Things” written by Jeff Atwood in mind.

The question is: How do you connect to a wireless network? Can you trust that connection? I mean, you’re going to download and install an operating system, so you should have a safe, encrypted and authenticated connection, with a means of independently verifying that the stuff you downloaded actually is the OS and definitely came from Apple. “even with a blank hard disk, the system firmware can connect to Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet, go online, and download the operating system directly from Apple.” I have a particular problem with “simply” connecting to the Internet by firmware means. In other words: not exactly quick, but nothing like your “8 hours installing 500 updates, and rebooting my machine 3 dozen times”.ĭon’t get me wrong: there are plenty of reasons to not like and even despise Windows/Microsoft, but your argument ain’t of them - especially considering that people are not likely to go through the whole patching/rebooting process “before it’s finally ready to go”. – Total reboots: 4 (including the mandatory one to finalize the OS installation) – Total patches downloaded/installed: 190

– Total time to install and patch Windows 8.1 Professional: 2h 48m (Note: from now on you boot straight to the desktop if the OS doesn’t detect a touch-capable display, which should have been the case since day one) Ĥ) Third round of patches: (136 + 4, ~1.2 GB): 1h 52m, 1 reboot

Just for the sake of it, I went through the whole process with a virtual machine using the following configuration:Īlso keep in mind that both the ISO image used for the installation and the VDI disk were located on a NAS, so this is definitely not a best case scenario, as disk access was much slower that it normally would.ġ) Installation (boot from DVD, install basic OS, create user, boot into new install): 0h 20m, 1 reboot Ģ) First round of patches (46 + 1, ~900 MB): 0h 19m minutes, 1 reboot ģ) Second round of patches (3, including Update 1, ~900 MB): 0h 17m, 1 reboot I hope you’re just making these numbers up to be funny or get upvoted, which you did, because you’re way off the mark. My biggest annoyance with Windows installs is not the kind of installation media I have to use, but the fact that I have to spend 8 hours installing 500 updates, and rebooting my machine 3 dozen times before it’s finally ready to go.

Apple has done it, and so can the rest of the PC world. I would love for all this to be automated, as well as for the installation medium – even the minimal one that only boots the installer and connects to FTP – to be eliminated.

In true Linux fashion, this was a manual process. Things like this take forever to get done properly on the PC side of things – although on the Linux side of things I used to download the minimal installation ISO and just download the rest of the operating system at install time through FTP or whatever. This is just one of those little things that Apple can do relatively easily due to the integration between its hardware and software. You can do a bare metal restore with nothing more than an Internet connection. Fiddling with installation media for operating systems is annoying and cumbersome – and sometimes it’s even impossible to create said installation media to begin with.Īnd Apple’s solution to this conundrum is very neat: even with a blank hard disk, the system firmware can connect to Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet, go online, and download the operating system directly from Apple.
