That seems like a lot of convoluted bullshit just to get your os to work, considering you need to update the whole thing every week.

You sure you haven't tried arch? Openbsd? You sound like a typical user.

I'm talking about supporting an American enterprise environment that handles medical patient data. No Linux workstations really. Easier to comply with HIPAA that way.

Is it convoluted BS? Sure why not. But Microsoft services are really sticky once you get integrated at a large scale (5k workstations plus over 100 servers).

And when they withdraw support for that feature, do you think laws will cause all the computers to crash?
