Will Windows Server 2025 kernel be resilient to Croudstrike-like failures?
I know that Windows Server 2025 will soon be ready for GA, but I'm also thinking that last week's events happened still on time to do something from MS side in order for kernel of Windows Server 2025...
My opinion, Kernal drivers and system drivers should never be upgraded and changed without human approval. These are the core of the trust of the system. They are the root of trust of the operating system and the more you change them, the less trust you will have in the system as a whole. Open source drivers would help immensely as bad code can be corrected faster. Trying to reverse engineer compiled code is difficult and time consuming. If these drivers were open source it would be much faster to find issues. Open source - that's not a Microsoft initiative that I see so much of.
