My phone was blowing up all day because people who installed a competitors product had an outage. That's the strange thing about Windows, if we let a 3rd party do something, it's our fault and if we don't let them do something, we are being anticompetitive. No winning
Absolutely insane the number of people calling this a "Microsoft outage". Yes, I know Windows isn't perfect (I worked on the system responsible for analyzing the crashes, after all), but short of getting rid of kernel drivers, it doesn't seem like much blame is on Windows.
