I appreciate your call to action, but it should be noted that it was only one of many platform choices that had the failure. The bandwagon of corporate microsoft installs, cloud based storage, massive central management of endpoints, sub contractors sub contracting to sub sub contractors, all the executives greenlighting security agents based on what’s most popular. You’re absolutely right if you’re talking about the Microsoft business ecosystem. But note, the internet stayed up, nearly every SaaS platform and product of note stayed up. Because that craftsmanship is still alive in the linux devops culture movement. Microsoft has been directly or indirectly responsible for almost every major IT disaster. It’s not a coincidence or because there’s “so many more MS installs”… not anymore. It’s because they suck, and by extension everything related to them sucks.

I do want also to say that 2038 is coming fast and I hope I don’t have to eat my words about unix.

Thanks for your insightful comment. And, yes. 38 is right around the corner so to speak. 'As distant as 2010' as someone elsethread put it ...
