Fun post, but I'll state the obvious because I think many people do believe that every Windows machine BSOD'd. It was only ones with Crowdstrike software. Which is apparently very common but isn't actually pre-installed by Microsoft in Windows, or anything like that.

Source: work in a Windows shop and had a normal day.

True, and definitely worth a mention. This is only Microsoft's fault insofar as it was possible at all to crash this way, this broadly, with so little recourse via remote tooling.

Which is a non-trivial amount of fault, given that Apple disallows the equivalent behavior on macOS.
