Microsoft has teamed up with cybersecurity software firm CrowdStrike to counter Delta Air Lines' accusations that the companies were responsible for thousands of canceled flights due to a technology outage last month. A lawyer for Microsoft clarified that Delta's key IT system is likely serviced by other technology providers, not Microsoft Windows.
The lawyer criticized Delta's claims as incomplete, false, and damaging to Microsoft's reputation. Microsoft is investigating why other airlines were able to restore operations more quickly than Delta.
