Overview

• Apple released an eight-minute Underdogs film on its official channels that satirizes a mass Windows crash and disabled public comments on the YouTube posting.
• Set at a trade show, the story shows Windows PCs failing with blue screens while the Underdogs keep working on Macs and even hand out Mac minis to help others.
• The video description links to Apple’s enterprise security page touting "kernel-level protection" and points to macOS’s Endpoint Security API rather than third‑party kernel access.
• Beyond security messaging, the short showcases ecosystem features including AirDrop, adding contacts from photographed business cards, Apple Watch call transfer, and Find My.
• Coverage notes Microsoft has been moving antivirus and EDR work out of the Windows kernel since the 2024 incident, and there is no reported public response from Microsoft or CrowdStrike.
