Sounds like Microsoft may finally start moving away from Kernel level drivers. https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/23/24226638/microsoft-windows-security-summit-crowdstrike-partners

Lessons learnt as a former #Macadmin when Apple transitioned from Kexts to user-space drivers and enforced in mac10.15:
- As soon as MS announce the time line, start mapping out which of your packages use Kernel-level drivers.Though MS aren't usually as aggressive as Apple with deadlines, they have egg on their face so wouldn't be surprised if things move quicker than normal.
- Of the packages that use Kernel-level drivers, immediately start pressing your TAMs as to when they'll have a user-space driver production-ready. - Ask to enrol in their beta programs as it's usually a huge change to their application architecture that comes with bugs and possible friction during migration.
- In my experience, vendors often weren't following the news, and poor communication on their end created lots of uncertainty until the last minute.
