      Probably doesn’t count, but I bet that Anti-cheat will be next, if it works.

    I imagine that a crowd of people are asking Microsoft what made this idea strike their fancy…

    It’s good to see that M$FT is tackling the important problems:

    The sight of a Blue Screen of Death will also be a thing of the past, too. Microsoft is now officially redesigning its BSOD so that it’s black and not blue.

      At least they preserved the BSOD acronym.

      It wasn’t even blue on Windows 10, it was the accent color.

      It’s a start. After cloudflare, they have all the ammunition needed to start removing shit like.this. Anticheat would be an amazing next move.

      Edit: crowdstrike. Oop

        You mean Crowdstrike? Cloudflare is a different problem.
