We all hate Microsoft for turning Windows into an ad platform but they aren't wrong.

Sorry, how is that related to the stability of the kernel?

I explained in my second sentence.

"They are legally required to give Crowdstrike or anyone low level access to the OS."

If you install a buggy driver into Linux and it crashes, that's not a problem with the Linux kernel.

I fully agree with you on that front, but ads have nothing to do with kernel access, so how is that relevant to their legal requirements?

I was explaining why everyone hates on Microsoft but the Crowdstrike crash had nothing to do with the reasons people hate MS.
