I mean yeah I don’t think Chinese companies are going to have crowdstrike installed given that it’s essentially a rootkit controlled by an American company. It’d be like American companies installing Kaspersky or Xuexi Qiangguo.
I mean anyone who didn’t use crowdstrike was fine.
I think it would have been a more interesting comparison if windows itself shipped a broken update to everyone which would show the OS dependency of every country.
That’s just called Update Tuesday.
I worked in sales for a Fortune 500 tech equipment and software manufacturer. When a customer had a serious outage with a single piece of our equipment it would cause them to stop and reevaluate their purchasing plans and dependence on my company.
IMO every government and business out there is going to be looking at this at every level and IT departments will be tasked to significantly reduce their reliance on Microsoft products. It will take years to actually happen, but I think Microsoft sales are going to take a serious, long term, and well-deserved hit.
That’s not a USA vs China thing, I work in enterprise cloud, we use Linux.
Can/do all your coworkers use git? Even the secretary and janitor?
The answer to this 100% irrelevant question is no
When is collaboration irrelevant within a large organization? Your company uses Linux which is commendable.
Taking it one step further
Multiple team members being able to work on the same project at the same time
My point was that it’s irrelevant if the whole company knows git. We’re a Microsoft shop and a lot of people don’t even use computers at our company (or only sparingly as they work in manufacturing). And we also have a subset of people who work with git (me kind of included).
And no our janitor can’t use AD. Even though our whole company “uses” Microsoft Windows
