    Wired has noticed that only Windows seems to be affected by this issue:

    https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-windows-outage-crowdstrike-global-it-probems/

    "The incident, so far, appears to only be impacting devices running
    Windows and not other operating systems."

    Gee, I wonder if it has something to do with it being a "Windows" update
    (same article):

    "CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz issued a statement about the outages,
    saying the company has found a rCLdefectrCY in an update for Windows that it issued."

    Does the CrowdStrike software run under other operating systems?

    Maybe, but the article refers to it as "an update for Windows". I assume it
    was pushed to Windows systems specifically.
