Why exactly should security vendors have the ability to crash the operating system?
- dmattia 2y agoThey shouldn't. Microsoft should have APIs that enable security vendors to work in userspace. The EU didn't say that Microsoft couldn't kick vendors out of the kernel, just that they couldn't do so without having the APIs available that would let security vendors operate outside the kernel. Mac and Linux have such APIs, so CrowdStrike operates in user-mode on those platforms, so those platforms do not give security vendors the ability to crash the operating system.
