If you run Windows IN Linux, it is in a sand-boxed Virtual environment.. meaning, it only sees what is inside the box (it can’t even see what hardware you are running since the hardware is virtual too)..
So, unless you check the boxes to allow it outside of the box, it sees nothing but what you put in the box (Win installation and Win apps on the virtual hard disc).
If you have the source, it's a lot easier to analyze. But it's not really my point to defend. You effectively asserted open source is just is full of holes as closed source. How can you prove that? None of the other information you cite has anything to do with that, it's all hand-waving in fact. The assertion that private individuals and private or public companies can’t come close to matching the capability of governments is not falsifiable. Now I would prefer to assume government researchers as dreadfully capable assuming they are properly directed; it's always a good idea to look both ways before you cross the street too.
