TLDR

Microsoft is collaborating with security vendors to move antivirus apps out of the Windows kernel, aiming to prevent future system crashes. A private preview is set for July, with input from CrowdStrike, Bitdefender, and others.

This is in response to the Cloudstrike issue that took down tons of systems a year ago. It's a good idea and a long time coming.
