Microsoft blames EU rules for its inability to lock down Windows

• raverbashing 2y ago
  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.
