MS gives them access, so they're responsible.

I disagree. As someone else in this thread said: if you compile a buggy Linux driver that crashes the system, it's still the fault of the driver.
Linux does not certify drivers though. Microsoft does.
It is my understanding that this driver had not been (re) certified by Microsoft, though. So in that case, I stand by my statement.
If it had been, I'd agree with that blame.
I'm not exempting Crowdstrike and I'm not sure the comparison holds: linux is a kernel, mot a corporation.
Try Ubuntu or RedHat, would they be liable?
My answer might surprise you, but no. Your source code, your binary, your responsibility. Not that of the platform, the compiler, or the company that supplies it.
I bet you love your locked down iPhone too
Why would I buy an Apple product?
Come on, conform to their baseless assumptions so their insult can stick!
It doesn't matter if he really has an iPhone or not. It's just that what he wanted in order for Microsoft not to have responsibility is basically to lock down Windows as if it was iOS.
