That is not sufficient.
Windows is also built with security in mind, according to Microsoft.

Sigh, oh, sigh. I haven't heard a word from you in three years, so I
thought that you, like me, completely forgot about it.
For the other members of the list, I am sorry this personal spat, which I
thought I had resolved with Robin three years ago, has been taken to

Good to see you again, Sam. *sigh* Still haven't learnt anything, have
you?
