Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

Incredible work.

Companies use the same software on Linux and Mac systems, and it's a kernel module there as well; this could have happened to any OS that companies are using it on, it just happened to happen on Windows.

Giving kernel access to outside software is always a risk; these companies chose to take that risk
