I think that's the wrong analogy. A more correct one would be "Should we blame a car company for a broken engine, that was modified after it was sold to you?".

A kernel level driver from a 3rd party is something that you willingly add to the OS, it wasn't there.
Just because windows allow you to do it, doesn't mean you should.
I mean, you can apply some dangerous mods to your car's engine, but you probably shouldn't, and if you do, it's your responsibility, not the car company.
- hpen 2y agoDoes crowdstrike void the warranty like an engine add on?
- vel0city 2y agoIf you had a support contract with Microsoft for your Windows installs and CrowdStrike is breaking your system they'll tell you to go talk to CrowdStrike, yes.
- hpen 2y agoOk I didn't realize that crowdstrike was more of competitor or maybe a hacky add-on (like a NOS). I was under the impression that it was something more in cooperation (not owned by or anything) but with Microsoft in terms of market support.
- vel0city 2y agoCrowdStrike absolutely is a competitor to Microsoft. Microsoft sells licensed software in the exact same market as CrowdStrike. Microsoft even sells Microsoft Defender for MacOS and Linux. They're direct competitors. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/endpoint-security/microsoft-defender-endpoint?msockid=0fe5b142a836612518bda1dba9976023 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/endpoint-s... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/non-windows https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/non-wind...
