I'm pretty sure that if Microsoft provided a decent way to do what Crowdstrike does, most companies would opt for that.

So... Sucks to suck I guess.

Why should MS do that? I guess if they saw a market value for it, they could. Like how Defender came to be after 20 years of third party anti-virus.

They certainly developed the tech for it - I remember reading about some of their research circa 2000 making the OS and everything on it a database. They've kind of been working that direction for years (see MyLifeBits).

I suppose they could provide an add-on tool for this, but I suspect there's a political barrier (imagine the blowback of MS providing such a tool).

The document that outlines the agreement between Microsoft and the European Commission is available as a Doc file on Microsoft's website.

...which seems to be inaccessible. I highly doubt this document specifically said "giv'em ring-0 access", this is just MS trying to deflect blame and cash it at the same time.
