This is a good thing, despite my own concerns.

The major argument you get from "why are you using Windows 7" is exactly this, companies in infrastructure argue that they still get a supported operating system in return (despite the facts, despite EOL, despite reality of MS not patching actually, and just disclosing new vulnerabilities).

And currently there's a huge migration problem because Microsoft Windows 11 is a non-deterministic operating system, and you can't risk a core meltdown because of a popup ad in explorer.exe.

I have no idea why Microsoft is sleeping at the wheel so much, literally every big industry customer I've been at in Europe tells me the exact same thing, and almost all of them were Windows customers, and are now migrating to Debian because of those reasons.

(I'm proponent of Linux, but if I were a proponent of Windows I'd ask myself wtf Microsoft is doing for the last 10 years since Windows 7)
