Anything to defend windows
Noone needs to defend Windows. We need to defend the truth. And the truth is that this was not a Windows issue. It's a Crowdstrike issue.
Windows being an insecure shit show is no one else's fault though. Not sure why that draws an argument. It's well known
True. But nothing to do with this incident. That's the point.
Everything to do with it. You don't buy expensive software to protect your shitty OS unless it's a shitty OS
Linux had a similar outage a few weeks ago, my man.
And yet I heard zero peeps about it. Probably because 99% of IT departments know windows is vulnerable as fuck while 99% know that Linux doesn't need babysitting.
"It's technically possible for other OSes to be affected by a thing like this" is a shit argument and you should get the MS dick out of your mouth.
