Microsoft didn’t cause the “disaster” though.

They just made the poor decisions that made CrowdStrike required in the first place.
If they focused on selling an operating system instead of spyware, these things would happen less frequently.

It exists on OSX and Linux too, they just don’t do the thing that took down Windows so they weren’t impacted.

Existing and being necessary are two different things. Linux and MacOS are operating systems. Windows is an ad delivery system that masquerading as an operating system.

Care to specify?

If Windows had better security and update practices, software like CrowdStrike wouldn’t be a necessity.

Running security products in kernel mode is precisely what caused this disaster.

It needs that kind of access to fight advanced attacks. It would surprise me if similar EDR programs didn’t have similar access on Linux systems, for example.

No, you make a management API for security products that run in user space as root, you don’t use kernel modules.
