The fix has to be applied manually to each affected computer. This could take forever...

The M365 issue from earlier which mentioned at 0:11 was unrelated with the Crowdstrike BSOD issue. These are two separated issues. The later one has much bigger impact.

Easy to say 'do not depend on one supplier', just need to be ready to pay the extra cost. In any case, it is a good practice to do a progressive deployment of massive sw updates. And test it better by the supplier (eg Crowdstrike) and customer (eg Microsoft).

Don't worry about the CEO. He will still have his annual multi-million salary PLUS bonuses.
