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.

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

    If windows were absolutely perfect with no flaws whatsoever, CrowdStrike wouldn’t be a necessity. I agree with that.
    
    Unfortunately we live in the real world and no OS is perfect so software like CrowdStrike exists on lots of operating systems.
    
    Btw, Crowdstrike isn’t necessary but it’s very nice to have for companies. You don’t need real time protection like that on a normal client you use at home.
