      a Microsoft employee

      You’re talking about good ol’ Lenny like he isn’t the author of the most used init and utility system as well as PulseAudio.

        I know who that is and he’s also a Microsoft employee these days which makes this a funny sequence of statements:

        “EU bad because they made us open up Windows to 3rd party anti-virus vendors. Oh, btw, the fully open Linux operating system can cope with such a problem if properly configured. Here’s the documentation to make that configuration.”

          Not only that, he specifically attacked “commercial operating systems” - it’s anyone’s guess which he meant - for not implementing it.

      I don’t know enough about Windows 10/11, but aren’t they supposed to boot into a menu thet allows you to pick the last known good configuration before it evens boots to the gui?

        It’s been a while since I had such a massive problem under Windows but the last time you could try to restore one of the last backups and usually that failed because Windows restore points are/were crap.

          Yeah we tried that where I work (I’m not IT) and it failed. Safe mode didn’t work either 'cause it couldn’t authenticate the user for login as the server was down as well.
