I'm not sure what to make of this but I'm noting something odd this morning: coverage of this event out of the UK near-unanimously is laying this outage on Microsoft. BBC ran a story this morning that didn't mention Crowdstrike until the 4th paragraph, and headline after headline is repeating the message that Microsoft caused a global outage.
Reporting from the US and elsewhere seems to be a bit more on point. Is it just because the Brits went to press earlier in the day before the problem was understood?
There seemed to me to be a clear shift in focus from CrowdStrike to Microsoft somewhere along the way, maybe a little while after George Kurz' message. I was wondering if it was either spin or the media collectively deciding that people understand what MS is better than CS.
