That sounds completely insane, if true. Any other sources with a bit more credibility?

I haven't searched for them. But Heise Online really made an article about that:

That seems credible to me. Insanity. Not that I would ever pay Microsoft for anything.

I recommend everyone that's relatively poor (let's say assets below $100M) to use Linux, even though it too is far from perfection. Humanity is too poor to pay for perfection or too stupid to even build perfection, it seems.

For rich people, the advice would be custom, but it would not include any operating system you know of for anything critical. E.g. a company like Maersk should never use Linux or Windows for their critical services. (The stupid idiots used Windows.)
