We fixed 110 production servers in 9 hours, so compnay only lost 1 day. It's pretty good for 7 people.

Also all corporate also used Adobe software. They reason companies and government agencies use the same software is because so they don't have teach employees software that they haven't used before and it also saves them money.

This appeared to be a huge problem, but, because it was caused by Crowdstrike's bad update, how difficult would it have been to remove that update from the systems to correct the blue screen errors? Could you comment on the logistics of this?

A very dominant system is basically a “monoculture.” Irish potato famine of mid-19th century. We have this today with regards to corn, wheat, and other stable crops. It’s not just computer operating systems that are at risk due to monocultures.

Yes but most Linux distributions have an easy way of reverting the kernel where the drivers reside before boot, Windows does not. Also begs the question whether having anti virus software in windows kernel protected space is a good idea at all. Unlike 3rd party drivers, there is no way of getting windows certification for them in time for the frequent updates. So sticking a program like this on your pc is playing Russian roulette with your system.

Southwest wasn't affected because they are still using Windows 3.1. Southwest has been criticizing for not updating their computer systems to more modern systems

Well, Windows is responsible too, because the OS' logic is to give AV and other specialized software 'god' privileges. These are more than admin/root privileges in Linux terms. I'm not so sure if Crowdstrike's Linux version - if it existed - would've frozen Ubuntu, given it wouldn't have ever had more than system privileges.
