I'm not up on my current windows security, but windows has been dominating for decades, much of which it's security was non existent, being originally a single user system. Linux being a nix is multi user from the ground up.
So you seem to be making a conclusion that isn't warranted.
That isn't to say any of this is wrong per se. Just that being the best does not necessarily lead to success.
NT was designed as a multi-user system from the ground up.
Right but windows also aims to be backwards compatible which means it was trying to run things designed for a single user system undermining protections.
That makes absolutely no sense.
'vim' wasn't designed for multi-user use. Nor was emacs.
Applications don't need to somehow be "designed" for multi-user systems. It's up to the underlying system to enforce application isolation in various ways, which NT has and does.
