Allow me to point out that there is no contradiction or falsehood there
(presumably). Try it with, oh, building safes as a comparison:
Safe 1: made of air.
Safe 2: made of kleenex. Most secure version of the MS safe ever!
Safe 3: made of cardboard. Most secure version of the MS safe ever!
Safe 4: made of balsa. Most secure version of the MS safe ever!
And so on. One can do this for quite some time, with each iteration
being, in fact, more secure than the previous ones, despite having
functionally no actual security - yet can make the claim completely
legitimately.
Note it is the most secure *Windows* ever. Not, oh, the most secure _OS_
ever. Or even the most secure network-enabled, multi-user desktop system.
Nope, just the most secure _Windows_. So it's a safe made of balsa,
beating out one made of cardboard. Big whoop.
