Comment on Windows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage — Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OS

The disaster likely happened because Crowdstrike didn’t do any phased rollouts or testing, which would have picked up a glitch like these before it could brick countless millions of systems. Blaming Microsoft for what is most likely gross negligence from a major cybersecurity firm is downright disingenuous.

Also, recommending an overglorified web browser baked into an OS which can only run web and Android applications to run critical infrastructure is downright laughable.

blaming Microsoft

I’m not blaming Microsoft. I am blaming companies for using Microsoft for critical systems.

Also, recommending an overglorified web browser baked into an OS which can only run web and Android applications to run critical infrastructure is downright laughable,

You not understanding that ChromeOS is a highly secure Linux computer is that can run any Linux program is downright laughable ignorance.

ESPECIALLY when Google are known for their downright nonexistent customer support.

Their software is way too widely used to provide you with free customer support. Microsoft is no different.
