MS should have something like Project Zero for Windows applications and drivers. Any app on more than 1-5% PC should be tested and fuzzed and ... And the vendor than pressured into fixing the issues. Even if it is not technically their fault, it is definitely optics problem for MS, half of the world refers it as Windows blue screen issue.

> And the vendor than pressured into fixing the issues How would Microsoft apply pressure? Short of publicly shaming them what power do they have?

  umm. Give a x days deadline and make after it public like Project 0 works, threaten to take away "Verified by MS" badge or create a WhatsApp group of Fortune 500 CIOs and badmouth in it.

    Both of these have legal percussions: Microsoft could very well be called a competitor of CS, so they cannot force them to do something without getting accused of abusing their market position; and a publicly traded company badmouthing another publicly traded company with an awfully complex web of mutual investments is a very bad idea in general. It’s not that easy.
