That was exactly my point. Some people make choices which prove to have
Microsoft dependencies, some don’t. It’s a choice. Some people make it each
way. Then Microsoft has yet another outage, as they VERY FREQUENTLY do, and
somehow, some people are surprised, all over again. But it was their choice.
Some people try to convince themselves that Microsoft is in the “death and
taxes” category. This is just your reminder that it’s not, it’s in the “self
harm/own-goal” category. If you were affected, AGAIN, you could make other
choices, and join the camp that doesn’t have anything to complain about when
Microsoft has an outage AGAIN.
Admittedly, I was a bit worried at first when I saw airlines complaining about
the Crowdstrike/Microsoft outage, but my travel was all on United, and it
turned out that they hadn’t made the mistake of using either anywhere critical,
just on kiosk display stuff. So, good for them, though it would be better if
they didn’t flirt with these kinds of risks at all, since they seemingly
propagate when people aren’t paying attention.
