Much, much more care should have being taken by all parties.

Microsoft should not have given kernel access to crowdstrike. Crowdstrike should not have being able to push a killing update.

    I don't think a OS should ever be LESS open about what a user can do. It should be on the user to do their due diligence and have high availability systems setup.

    Only reason Linux wasn't affected as much was luck. this could just as easily have happened to Linux systems if the broken update targetted Linux.

    We (this community especially) criticize windows for not being more open like Linux, and all of a sudden we're saying it should've been more like Apple?

    I feel blessed when a user can find the power on button.

    Nope, all I am saying is care should scale with adoption.
