Oh FFS. I love this era where companies will not accept the blame due to “liability”, even when they are explicitly to blame.

We all hate Microsoft for turning Windows into an ad platform but they aren’t wrong.

They are legally required to give Crowdstrike or anyone complete low level access to the OS. They are legally required to let Crowdstrike crash your computer.

It’s no different than Linux in that way. If you install a buggy device driver on Linux, that’s your/the driver’s fault, not Linux.

They are legally required to let Crowdstrike crash your computer.

I call Bullshit.

If it had been Windows NT 3.5, there would have been no bluescreens around the world. It had stopped the buggy software, gave a message accordingly, and continued it’s job. That Windows was not stupid enough to crash itself just because of a null pointer in another software.

Now you tell me that Windows NT 3.5 is illegal?

You could absolutely install software on Windows 3.5 that would crash the system.

Can confirm. I've crashed most Microsoft products from msdos 5.

My dislike for MS products goes back to 1979 and the BASIC interpreter on the Commodore Pet.
At the time I thought that's just how computers are but within just a few years I realised that non Microsoft BASIC always seemed to be better...
