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.

Would be interesting but I don't think than can happen as windows updates are phased. If lots of pcs start crashing, the rollout is halted

This is very standard across most large scale updates, crowdstrike just does things differently obviously 🤣
