A 2009 agreement insisted on by the European Commission meant that Microsoft could not make security changes that would have blocked the update from cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike

Yes, the problem with the Crowdstrike outage was that people were allowed to install Crowdstrike. This is what Windowscels actually believe.

"The EU forced an American company to send out a faulty update that bsods the system at boot"
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I think it's even more abstract, they forced Microsoft to allow kernel extensions willy nilly and therefore Microsoft couldn't lock down their OS and gatekeep the access extensions have or possibly even updates, kinda like Apple does with the App Store
Which is still a huge question mark

It's technically true
But if you look at Windows 11, you can see that the same sort of thing could've just as easily happened with Microsoft's in-house code

The stupidity of eurotards is only matched by their love for overbearing regulation (this is why the only Euro ""tech"" company to ever make it big was a complete fraud and collapsed in a day after its founder fled to Russia). Combining the two together into a stupid and overbearing regulation is to a euro what deep-frying a mars bar is to an American.

Cause my seagate drive came like that by default and I used windows with it intially. It has like 3 tb of data backed up on it so to reformat id have to buy a second drive transfer everything to it and then re transfer it back after reformatting. Linux Supports NTFS out of the box no excuses
