I want to say "Haha, Idiot trusting Microsoft".

But honestly I want the same stuff he wants. Including modems in mobile phones. Including EVERYTHING I own.

What does 'modems in mobile phones' mean? Isn't the whole thing a modem strapped onto a screen? What am I missing?

A lot of phone modems ship with their own SoC (processor) running its own OS. It's much smaller and slower than the main phone SoC but, depending on its implementation, it can have full access to all of your main processor's memory through DMA.
