    Same thing would happen on Linux if someone wrote a bad kernel module and integrated it into the OS. In fact, Crowdstrike did have a similar problem a few months ago on Linux.

    I’m no fan of Microsoft, but this isn’t their fault.

      An OS should not have to require a 3rd party driver for security.

      Microsoft should be writing that driver as an OS component. Drivers should be restricted for taking to hardware.
