Microsoft's global sprawl under fire from regulators after Windows outage

I'd expect the HN crowd to not give Microsoft beef here or want them to lock down the OS more. At least, that would be consistent with usual comments about letting users control their OS. Companies chose (with some regulatory pressure) to install CrowdStrike at the kernel level after all.

I didn't talk about locking down, but just generally building more resilience/recovery into the OS.

Also, from the little I saw, CrowdStrike got around certifying every driver update by pushing updates through "update" files that are read and executed by the driver. That seems like a huge hack to bypass certification and likely shouldn't be allowed?
