Nothing to do with Microsoft and everything to do with the EU giving unscrupulous developers unfettered access. 

There should be a class action suit against the EU from all counties and corporations as well as all individuals affected. 

While cloud strike deserves criticism, it’s not really their fault entirely. Any developer will have mistakes. But the big lawmakers, who are trying to steer the world where they want - bear responsibility for throwing the toddlers into the deep end of the pool and then doing nothing when they can’t swim. 

Reverse these stupid policies. 

my issue is, this was not a mistake
if they had tested this on 1 pc, they would have isolated the issue
this was not a case of if you this update MAY cause issues
it would CERTIANLY cause issues since it references  an area of memory that is NOT valid
on ANY windows pc running windows 10 or 11

fi this was an issue with users who had Crowdstrike and a specific version of winzip for example
then it would be a mistake, because they can't account for all software ever released

but this would have caused a freshly formatted windows 10/11 pc to crash, even if it had ZERO added software

And because the EU forced Microsoft to allow any developer to have the same level of access to the OS Microsoft does, you have developers who are human, hurried, make mistakes, are sometime unscrupulous, etc. with access way above their pay grade. 

Nothing MS can do without breaking their OS AND COUNTLESS software packages that are entrenched in just as countless number of businesses. 

The EU simply needs to recognize the mistake and reverse course. It’s not up to the software company to handicap itself and its partners in order to fix a stupid policy decision.

That is 70 million less for philanthropy.

Real estate generally maintains or increases value. It’s not like dropping 70 mill on consumable goods.

I’m in the market for a new laptop and it baffles me that just because Apple wanted to show to Qualcomm they can keep up, they decided to launch an M4 chip with a product that is inherently limited in how it can utilize the chip for day to day productivity. 

Thus creating a “I’ll wait with buying a new computer” holding pattern with Mac users. 

If the above timeline is correct, that’s a terrible strategy. Especially since I’m deep into AI for work, I can use all the extra power there is.
