Summary
Microsoft accuses Delta Air Lines of not modernizing its technology before canceling thousands of flights due to a global IT outage. Delta CEO claims the disruptions cost the airline $500 million and is seeking damages from Microsoft and CrowdStrike. Microsoft and CrowdStrike deny the claims and offer to help for free, but Delta refuses. Delta's IT issues were related to systems serviced by other technology providers, not Microsoft. Delta demands records from IBM, Amazon, and others to show their contribution to the issues.
