Microsoft signs Red Hat certs then Red Hat signs everyone's certs, so the only thing Microsoft can do is to revoke Linux as a whole.

It's the solution that requires minimal user effort since most computers are designed for Windows.

    And MS probably won't do it willy-nilly because their stack is peobably using it to some degree and many more of those Fortune-X00 are very likely something RHEL. So fucking that over will crash their stock like it did with CrowdStrike but much much worse.
