A widespread Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issue on Windows PCs disrupted operations across various sectors, notably impacting airlines, banks, and healthcare providers. The issue was caused by a problematic channel file delivered via an update from the popular cybersecurity service provider, CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike confirmed that this crash did not impact Mac or Linux PCs.

It turns out that similar problems have been occurring for months without much awareness, despite the fact that many may view this as an isolated incident. Users of Debian and Rocky Linux also experienced significant disruptions as a result of CrowdStrike updates, raising serious concerns about the company's software update and testing procedures. These occurrences highlight potential risks for customers who rely on their products daily.

This is going to end badly.

In NT 3.5 certain drivers was not allowed to interact with kernel drivers.
In NT 4, the screen driver was allowed to interact with kernel drivers in order to get speed.
Now M$ apparently want to revert to the NT 3.5 kernel driver model, in order to prevent CrowdStrike from borking Windows PC's again.

Hilarious times are coming. Get ready for a rough ride.
