There are offline environments that cannot do it online, this is bullshit. Working with critical infrastructure in OT networks, Microsoft is basically saying that Windows should not be used anymore in those.
Problem is that OT is full of legacy shit, so switching to Linux is more easily said than done.
I would agree with them.
From what I remember, some of those airgapped environments still use windows XP, so they’re not bothered too much by this
There is every OS released in last 40 years running in these air-gapped OT networks. New and Old.
I have the same struggles, Amen!
I’m not 100% sure on this one, but I think it applies to Windows Home and Pro but not Enterprise.
They killed it on enterprise too, we have not been able to activate in half a year, the phone number just stopped working…
