The problem isn't CrowdStrike. Or even Windows. The problem is 
unattended automatic updates.
With a manual update, if things don't work quite the way they should, 
you just revert back to the previous situation. And with enough 
redundant systems, the whole just keeps working while you fix this 
particular computer.
With unattended automatic updates on a vast scale, half the world just 
crashes.
It's a bean counter thing: Why spend money on IT staff when the software 
can do the IT thing for you.

Rob
