    In a way, it was. If Windows was not as crappy as it is, external solutions would not be needed.

      Linux machines also require Crowdstrike because of business requirements. That does mean Linux is just as crap as Windows then?

            Windows is definitely not the only bad software, but for the amount of resources they could spend on quality, it is a rather shitty product. They could do better, but they don’t want to.
