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.
Thanks for watching! Do you think the changes CrowdStrike is proposing go far enough?
