Maybe as an operating system that Delta purchased, its kernel should not crash when a 3rd party software receives a faulty update?

- shadowpho 2y agoThey can’t do anything about a 3rd party software that runs in kernel space
- sjm-lbm 2y agoI really dislike this line of thinking because it assumes that Microsoft is responsible for anything you run on your Windows machine. I should be able to do whatever I want with a computer I buy, but that doesn't mean Microsoft should hold any liability for it. What am I missing here?
- paradite 2y agoThe difference is you are an individual and Delta is a public company. For enterprise purchases, you would have SLAs and contract terms to protect your company when something bad happens.
- sjm-lbm 2y agoFair, if this violates an SLA then Microsoft should pay up. If Microsoft's SLAs are worded so that you're allowed to shove bits of third party code into the kernel without violating the SLA, though, they should fix that.
