      It exists on OSX and Linux too, they just don’t do the thing that took down Windows so they weren’t impacted.

        Existing and being necessary are two different things. Linux and MacOS are operating systems. Windows is an ad delivery system that masquerades as an operating system.

          If windows were absolutely perfect with no flaws whatsoever, CrowdStrike wouldn’t be a necessity. I agree with that.

          Unfortunately we live in the real world and no OS is perfect so software like CrowdStrike exists on lots of operating systems.

          Btw, Crowdstrike isn’t necessary but it’s very nice to have for companies. You don’t need real time protection like that on a normal client you use at home.
