There were multi-million device Microsoft BSOD outages in 2024 as well. It was mainly the bad Cloudstrike update debacle, but also a contemporaneous problem with Azure.
Luckily, It sounds like this new failure is recoverable by normal user action.
In the past something like that would hurt M$ sales, but today they are so big and have ao much control over the market that a big mistake like that is nothing to them.
People will continue to buy because there is no alternative.
