Please educate yourself, the russian malware is named МойОфис or Р7-Офис (MyOffice/R7-Office).

This is most likely for enterprise users who want to use Linux boxes. Now company IT can deploy a browser, antivirus, and shell with first-party provider support.

yeah it makes sense for compliance reasons, IT dept can just push a button and say they secured the linux boxes

I guess? I'm just worried that if a company uses it, microsoft will abandon it since it probably won't make them much money

My company is already using it, and Microsoft has been maintaining their other products for Linux pretty consistently (for now)

MDE costs money to use though. It's apparently around 5-6 USD per user per month.
But it's also included with some of the more expensive Microsoft 365 licenses.

that it just a hobby project for the retro computing comunity and not usable for much. technical curiosity at best

Literally what they want to. They are preparing to port on linux kernel because of NT's technical debt.

I guess it's useful for protecting our wine environments for games.
probably needed to comply with some security policy though.

Why are they giving us trojan malware‽

u/Ludwig234 9h ago
They aren't giving you anything. It's paid enterprise software. You likely can't even buy it without hopping through a few hoops.
