No you should switch over to Chromeos, iPads, ... anything but Microsoft.

Crowdstrike only exists because Windows and other Microsoft products are so insecure their default configuration.

There's nothing special about Windows beyond the fact that you can run arbitrary executable files. The problem could just as easily have happened for Linux or iOS/Mac and in fact it has. ChromeOS kind of works if you want to run a web application that's hosted on some web server... but it's not appropriate for running programs where a dumb browser doesn't suffice.

What defaults would those be, and how would you change them?
