Microsoft is saying about 8.5 million Windows machines were affected by
the CrowdStrike fiasco--that’s less than 1% of the Windows installed base.

In other words, that’s how few mission-critical business systems are
reliant on Windows these days.

Their server products are just inferior in some respects to Linux,
they have their uses but yes this isn't like a wipeout of computers,
it's a fiasco as you say but a resolvable one.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

No, that is the the number of Windows machines that use the CrowdStrike
EDR. They claim a 18.5% share of the market.

That still means a share of less than 50 million Windows machines in this
market.

Yeah, but it's what those 50 million Windows machines are used for that
counts. Banks, airlines, train terminals, point of sale machines, etc. In
the big scheme of things these are a lot more important than home office
computers or gaming machines.

And this is where people should be using Linux servers. Where stability
matters.
