At work, the windows outage spooked management hard. They noticed that our small amout of Linux servers didn’t go down. So now they are OK with us using Linux more. After many decades of Windows.
That is was a Crowdstike issue not a Windows issue. They have borked Linux updates as well. Microsoft has had their far share of bad updates but none of them were outage level assuming companies properly tested updates.
A lot of these large companies are terrible at multiple levels. It is great to pay premium dollar for junk.

From my understanding, it’s true that CrowdStrike wrote the faulty code and submitted it to Microsoft. Microsoft shares blame in that they didn’t properly vet and test the kernel-level patch CrowdStrike had submitted.
