I mean yeah I don’t think Chinese companies are going to have crowdstrike installed given that it’s essentially a rootkit controlled by an American company. It’d be like American companies installing Kaspersky or Xuexi Qiangguo.
also are we to believe china never has any outages of their own?
I mean anyone who didn’t use crowdstrike was fine.
I think it would have been a more interesting comparison if windows itself shipped a broken update to everyone which would show the OS dependency of every country.
That’s not a USA vs China thing, I work in enterprise cloud, we use Linux.
Can/do all your coworkers use git? Even the secretary and janitor?
Does everyone at your company use photoshop?
Tying your operating system fundamentals to proprietary network services that require active and paid-up accounts was never going to be a good idea.
Beyond China. This incident reminded of a post by WineHQ on the danger of software monoculture.
China takes alot of crap from Western MSM. But the accusation that it suacks at IT, so much, would consider using WindowsOS is a low blow
Whenever see a Windows box i say, grandma gets a smartphone. Regardless who i’m talking to. Believe it!
