Malaysia asks Microsoft, CrowdStrike to consider covering losses from outage

Malaysia: Your product is faulty and caused us damages

Microsoft: Nobody forced you to use our product

Yeah that is no argument. Microsoft is a defacto monopolist and everywhere where e.g. municipalities tried to switch to Linux they lobbied hard against it.

If Microsoft wants to keep that cash making machine it should fulfill some minimum guarantees and feel consequences if their choices lead to damages.

I'd like to see you driving a car, flying a plane or riding a train that was built with your "no guarantees"-mindset. Aren't the benefits of modern society that we can bite into a piece of food from the supermarket without dying because we didn't research the exact places where it was made? This is only possible with standards and checks.

If all of the wheels and engine fell off of your car, would you accept the manufacturer telling you that nobody made you buy it?

If rotten food was served to you, is that on you for ordering it?

Why would you think like this?

You might need to explain that one.

Victim blaming.
