It seems that an unexplored weirdness here is the prevalence of virtual Windows in the medical world. It seems that this has approach has become commonplace for HIPAA reasons (though it's unclear that it makes the world better versus using secure applications to handle HIPAA data). In the case of this Crowdstrike outage, one would think that virtual machines would simplify getting things up and running again, but instead there seems to be just the opposite going on, where lack of hardware access is limiting restoring them.

Any insight from those affected?
