The stance of "let's not hold companies accountable for cutting corners" is one reason everything is getting worse. It's because we collectively let it get worse.
Is the implication that Microsoft should be compelled to develop its own EDR product at a level of sophistication comparable to what CrowdStrike offered, and compete with them on that basis?
It feels strange to me to hold Microsoft accountable for the poor design decisions of firms who just develop third-party software on their platform.
Is the argument that it was MS responsibility to bake something like this in at the OS level? And if they did it would be more robust?
I’m not sure I agree. MS has already gotten in trouble for monopolistic practices before, so from a legal standpoint, I’m not sure that’s the best course of action.
If Microsoft is responsible, then they need to also need greater control. If Microsoft isn't supposed to have that kind of power, they cannot be blamed.
What would you suggest we do to make sure it doesn't get worse?
A large majority of the population probably has no idea the implications of this outage and what to do about it because most are tech deaf.
