The CrowdStrike Windows outage that hit the world this week stems back to an EU-Microsoft deal from 2009 that meant Microsoft had to give antivirus vendors the same Windows API access it had.

My dislike for MS products goes back to 1979 and the BASIC interpreter on the Commodore Pet.
At the time I thought that’s just how computers are but within just a few years I realised that non Microsoft BASIC always seemed to be better…
You could absolutely install software on Windows 3.5 that would crash the system.
Can confirm. I’ve crashed most Microsoft products from msdos 5.
