I wouldn't be surprised if they added MAI-Cyber 1 there too.
Yes, but the model is not what makes MDASH good, it’s how MDASH was implemented (the harness design).
To defend properly, you need either either much more formally mathematically verified layers, or always-on online monitoring and intrusion detection running alongside the service. Like the immune system, or like guarding an empire's borders, since you can't put a guard on every meter of border. But you can detect when someone broke in and deploy your soldiers to respond. Currently we are trying to defend by building really hard walls that we hope cannot be pierced anywhere, which isn't realistic.

(Having lived through the late 90s .com stuff, I can't see the word "cyber" without immediately assuming the person who wrote it is a clueless baby boomer. Unfortunately it seems to have become accepted into the lexicon. I guess by us now-clueless GenXers?)
You've got to call it something, and calling it "cyber" differentiates it from all the other kinds of security. I doubt it means much to talk about "security" to the government, that could as much mean a missile system, but I don't know, that's not my area of work.
To us developers who work with computing all day it feels cringe because the cyber part is implied, and "security" is the differentiator., so you can just talk about working in "security" or "infosec".
Is "cyber" a bit of a relic that dates when the government started taking it seriously? Of course, but I don't know if there is a good alternative that doesn't have other connotations. It probably also acts as a bit of a shibboleth in both directions, "cyber" for those in the government sphere, "infosec" in the commercial.
They can’t decide on naming their product in Azure, let alone creating something useful or usable
Let's say i use a linux endpoint and some hardware vendor starting with Cisc on the network. Can your product help me or not? I'm pretty sure none of these have been meant by Microsoft..but they fall into this category
And I am 90% sure that Claude design was used to build the website.
Same. I feel amused, disgusted and disdain at the same time.
Sprinkle in some irritation that even for a big product launch not a single human in the chain could be bothered to sit down and devote their attention to writing a page on why this product matters and why we should care..
We invented AGI.

Only OpenAI's blog looks like the WordPress _Twenty Twenty Five_ theme.
tbh all of this has always struck me as an ego thing from the MAI team, who are mostly based in Silicon Valley, not Redmond, and think of themselves as too cool for Microsoft
Their cash cow customers are doofuses that decide over government contracts to be wined & dined, their best employees use macbooks, it's a sad shell of what has been.
Edit: I'm enjoying seeing all the other examples linked in the responses. I decided to make a public Semble collection (https://semble.so/profile/vadhub.bsky.social/collections/3mr...) to track more, feel free to add to this!

This is a topic I really enjoy thinking about and I wonder if someone has explored it. It was just before the pandemic when Balenciaga rebranded where it struck me that something crazy had happened. The top fashion houses were taking their brand inspiration from Apple! I was looking at a Rimowa and it looks like an Apple mark. And Balenciaga, and Burberry (before their most recent rebrand)
The flat geometric sans wordmark and product marks wasn't an Apple original but it is definitely given full high-quality luxury status through Apple's adoption. It could just have been an idea whose time had come (Microsoft's Metro etc. existed) but if you look at the iPhone, they were already using the flat sans Myriad font at the time.
Someone more acquainted with design and art will have to tell me if this is real because when I saw it I swear it was like everyone was trying to associate with this language that was popularized by Apple. But maybe they were just copying tech because tech were the top dogs of the age. And now perhaps everyone will copy AI labs which will all copy Anthropic because Anthropic are the big dogs of this age.
Look at it, though! It's striking how much everything looks like it descended from iPhone. People were saying the Balenciaga logo looks like a phone contact!

It seems that others like that though.
Which is precisely why I've preferred the Solarized Light Theme for years now.
If I'm being frivolous, does this mean Microsoft's model is best at fixing Microsoft products because they have trillions of data points on problems with Microsoft products
"You're absolutely right, I shouldn't have delete your entire C drive. That's on me."
In serious, this would be a good advantage for Microsoft to consider, I just doubt they'd do it well.
Do they want to fix Microsoft Products ?
My laptop came with Windows 11. Windows update broke hibernate few weeks back. When laptop gets out of hibernate - Wifi works for a few minutes and then once in a while the Wifi Adapter isn't detected. I need to reboot to fix the issue, this has screwed up my workflow. Wasting a lot of time.
After troubleshooting a lot, I now only hope one day it gets fixed on it's own thanks to some new update.
If Microsoft has money to invest in AI models, they could sure fix Windows 11 which I assume is one of their core products.
I wish in a few years Microsoft realize that screwing over their Desktop users to chase Cloud and AI wasn't worth it. And by that time it's too late to get back the user base.
On the other hand, what's the return on investment for making Windows 11 better? Your laptop came with Windows 11. Most laptops that come with Windows can't not come with Windows (that is, most laptops are only available in SKUs that ship with Windows).
Windows OS is what keeps most users in Microsoft's ecosystem.
I am still on Windows as some software I need to use aren't on Linux.
I am waiting for the day that I can get rid of Windows completely.
When I do that what Microsoft product do you think I will still use ? Office ? Azure ? Copilot ? :)) Outlook ?
No MSFT product ever!
Will I ever recommended Microsoft's products to my clients - Never
Sure, Microsoft has a grip on Enterprise.
Let's see how long that lasts if Windows keeps going downhill.
Assume a hypothetical future where all that software gets ported to Linux. How much better would Windows have to get for you to keep using it?
I suspect they've done the math and realize that the slow trickle of users leaving would cost too much time and effort to retain.
Which ones for you?
But backwards compatibility isn't actually that hard if you're not horrendously mismanaged to begin with. You have some ancient miserable APIs from the 1990s that you still have to support, fine, but that's not actually that bad. Old APIs tend to be small because computers were small that far back, you write a compatibility layer and can keep using it. By definition the old stuff never changes so you only have to do it once.
The actual problem is that Microsoft is full of little fiefdoms. Because what they should do, after becoming a huge behemoth with the resources to do it (which has been the case for more than two decades), is to design a set of good, modern APIs, also only once. Something that you're happy to support forever because you took the time to get it right. Then you only have to support that and the little compatibility layer for truly ancient software.
Instead, they have an army of middle managers who are practically at war with each other to show that they can introduce some kind of novel "improvement", the vast majority of which quickly fall out of favor but then have to be supported indefinitely if you don't want to break backwards compatibility. And that makes backwards compatibility a huge ordeal because every year there is more poorly-engineered rubbish you have to support forever.
I do agree with you on this.
But as a consumer that's not my concern.
I am at least a Windows user since three decades, I know my way around the OS and did extensive troubleshooting. What happens to a normal Windows user ?
I have developed habits and workflow on my machine to optimize my time. Now every time I get back to work I am hoping that it works coming out of hibernate.
Is that how a modern OS should be ?
I have a Windows 10 machine that has stopped getting updates. I am satisfied with that.
I consider that Windows 10 machine 'reliable' now that Microsoft isn't breaking things for me.
