The Microsoft PR and Legal department are on this, trying to spin them as the victims.

Fuck Microsoft, this is their fault. Theur monopoly and anti competitive pragroce has made it worse. They need more intervention to force open their system and allow other vendors to be able to offer viable alternatives.

We wouldn't have had such chaos is we didn't have so many companies stuck depending on a duopoly of Microsoft and Crowdstrike.
