Microsoft blames EU rules for its inability to lock down Windows

  • This sounds like an excuse more than anything

    While yes it is an anti-trust issue (and my bet is that if they locked up this in the US it would be litigated in the US as well - hence why it is not locked up in the US)

    The questions are:

    - Why does CTOs and CISOs don't push for a userspace-mode solution to exist? I think that specific Crowdstrike module is optional no?

    - Why CS's process didn't prevent this from happening?

    - Windows could also implement a status/success check for those drivers as it implements for things like graphical drivers etc

  • The agreement specifies that Microsoft must share its APIs for Windows Client and Server operating systems with third-party security software developers, but last week’s incident highlighted the risks of such openness.

    Sounds like deflecting away from responsibilty with a hint of a lingering odour of bullshit.
