    In a way, it was. If Windows was not as crappy as it is, external solutions would not be needed.

      Linux machines also require Crowdstrike because of business requirements. That does mean Linux is just as crap as Windows then?

      Is your point “Linux and Mac dont get viruses or targeted for cyberattacks”?

      Or is it “This wouldn’t have broken on a different operating system”?

        No to both. Windows is so broken, it needs kernel-level external software to protect it from attacks that should not be possible in the first place. It is a joke of history that this software was even worse than windows itself.

          I see you’re operating on a plane of reality where windows is the only bad software, so it’s kinda pointless for me to continue here. I hope you have a wonderful day.
