      These 'solutions' do not address the fundamental problem. MS needs to remove 3d party drivers from the kernel, and provide an update mechanism (like ChromeOS) with multiple OS partitions, where a botched update can seamlessly switch back to the 'pre-update'' OS, thereby temporarily blacklisting the offending update. No 3d party drivers in the kernel should finally allow some badly needed kernel improvements. Hiding behind so-called EU anti-trust regulation is weak at best. I tend to consider it a lie: the EU demanded equal access for other security providers, not guaranteed 3d party kernel access. The EU doesn't tell a company how to go about its business. It is MS itself that chose the easy way out. Also, interesting fact: the complaints brought to the EU came from other US security companies. In short: MS is as guilty as Crowdstrike for this mess, probably more so.

    This appears to relate to a deeper issue, where the current leadership in government & companies seem to have lost sight of empowering specific people to own the process of a particular function and refraining from interfering, while still holding said individuals responsible for outcomes. It is no wonder that we have the current clown show of net zero targets which are only possible in their imaginary world. Why don't we have engineers making engineering decisions? How can we expect Microsoft to have a stable system if a politician is allowed to force architectural decisions on MS? Prescribe outcomes and stop interfering with process. This always causes more problems. When and how did we start taking people's professional skills for granted, incredibly arrogant and disrespectful behaviour.

    Extreme bullshit with the EU stuff. You blamed EU the most among CrowdStrike, Microsoft and the Sysadmins. Your logic that implementation of security API would have solved this is very flawed. This sensor product is designed to run low in the kernel and observe EVERYTHING. Most likely, CrowdStrike wouldn't migrate sensors to Microsoft API due to limitations and effort needed. Microsoft can't force the migration because Windows features are practically NEVER deprecated. So these companies would keep using kernel access. You are ultra biased towards Microsoft so your opinion about any incident regarding Microsoft is not trustworthy. I'm sorry but it is the truth.

    • @ThisWeekinIT
      @ThisWeekinIT 9 днів тому

      I didn't blame anyone. I just asked where blame should be assigned and concluded that all parties might reconsider their positions. And I also pointed out that Microsoft and third-party security vendors might give customers the choice of running sensors in kernel or user space, allowing customers to choose whether they prefer deeper protection or greater resiliency against potential mishaps as we saw last week.

    This is a very biased video. The EU didn't block Microsoft from making a security API for 3rd parties. It blocked Microsoft from making a security API for 3rd parties but allowing their own product (Defender) to bypass that API to get an unfair advantage. That's classic anti-competitive behaviour.

    was the lack of gradual rollouts caused by the EU? was the lack of proper testing in the kernel driver EU's fault? did the EU force a ton of admins to install a closed-source kernel module? The reason why almost no admin installs crowdstrike on Linux (explaining why it wasn't on the news the crash on debian) is because having a tainted kernel (tainted being the official term) is a huge source of potential issues. Don't forget that Linux has around 90% of the server market. Also, there are more secure ways to protect a Linux server, such as running containers (cgroups which is the industry standard with socket) with apps behind selinux or tomoyo if you need syscall level enforcement.

      @@nonofx31 CrowdStrike didn't blame the EU. That was Microsoft. I don't know whether CrowdStrike is commonly installed on Linux servers. But don't compare securing Linux with Windows. Windows is ubiquitous in the end-user computing space. And that means unlike a server, that it is exposed to interactive users with no education in computer security. Most security incidents on Windows stem from an action initially taken by an end user. Linux servers don't generally face that issue.

    Problem is, corporations don't care, least of all huge international companies. Nor do hegemonies, like the EU, give a shit about actual people.

That Windows business can then focus on Windows to make sure it is the best OS thus keeping users happy thus keeping money flowing.

Can I, for example, give it a 9000 page PDF that consists all of my companys email communications and whatsapp conversations etc, and would it treat it as a one file?

    So the Checkpoint updates are, basically, going to be like a feature update without any of the features? Think 1903 but without anything special and just for WU to separate distribution. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a twice per year or even a quarterly thing.

    • @eyevou
      @eyevou 19 днів тому

      @@ThisWeekinIT I don't believe I got the point across very well. The feature updates separated WU channels into different branches (Think Cumulative Updates for 22H2 vs 23H2). Instead of having up to 11 months of updates (The CUs are starting to balloon to 800mb+ PER MONTH) with a "checkpoint" it would only be 2 or 5 months between the branch updates. Admins would be expected to have up-to-date media while the rolling update users would have smaller install sizes for their on-disk installs, with the new branches not containing as much. It's kinda the reason Microsoft was doing the whole xx03/xx09 thing in the first place - to decrease the size of the updates WU was pushing. I would assume that Microsoft will also be releasing checkpoint install media/ISOs each time they decide to push out one of the checkpoints.

      Absolutely. There’s no such thing as 100% secure anyway. You’ll you have to place trust somewhere. It’s each of us to decide and choose.

    Millions of people trust Microsoft, and they have done so for years. Some users know the data is being collected and don't care...I am one of those users. I have absolutely no worries at all. There is a section of social media full of alarmists and obnoxious other OS users, who can not resist taking a jab at Microsoft. If the other OSes were so great, you wouldn't have to be shouting from the mountain tops for people to leave Windows, people would do so, willingly...no cohesion.

    I can understand that many users use Windows out of convenience, but users who actually have sensitive information, e.g. businesses, are truly naive trusting Microsoft. Perhaps this insanity will be the alarm bell that wakes people up.

    You don't have to use Windows is such a stupid take. You use the OS which runs the software you want to run and/or which is the standard in your workplace. On the first point, one could use adapter layers like Wine as a counterargument but it's never gonna be perfect.

    • @ThisWeekinIT

      I don't see people complaining much about Windows at work. At work, data security is more the concern of the business than the individual. There are always ways to run the software you want on different platforms if you really want to. But as you point out, there will always be compromises with that. Still, the choice is there to be made.
