    Crowdstrike stock dropped 5% or so on news of Delta hiring outside counsel to pursue damages.

    If this is truly CrowdStrikes own fault, aren't there countless other global airlines that had major losses during the outage and will pile on to the damage claims?

    Wow, exactly $500M. The pinheads at Delta are amazing.

    How is any of this Microsoft's liability?

    Now they know how much they could have saved with a better funded IT team.
