00:00Microsoft is calling out Delta after the airline blamed CrowdStrike and Microsoft for 5,000-plus
00:05canceled flights. Delta CEO Ed Bastian blamed the global IT outage on a faulty upgrade CrowdStrike
00:11sent to machines running on Microsoft Windows, saying it cost the airline $500 million.

00:22company, not Microsoft Windows. The lawyer said the airline's comments were also incomplete,
00:27false, and misleading. CrowdStrike and Microsoft both said Delta turned down
00:33their offers to help the airline recover after the outage last month. CEO Satya Nadella even
