I worked at a Unix server company in the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Automatic or even one-click OS upgrades never happened. We also had good dependency enforcement which would not allow version updates to libraries which would break installed apps.
wait, WHAT? You need CAL license for every DHCP lease from DHCP server? Whoa, I never thought about it like that, and Microsoft never told such thing. Now I think I have some problems with licensing in my company. You mean ane DHCP lease even to non-windows machines?
Yup. Every device that gets a lease is using a Windows service and therefore needs a to be covered by a CAL. If the devices are used by people with user CALs, they're covered. If not, then it needs a device CAL. You need to licence either the device itself, or all of its users, but not both. There was a Microsoft article once upon a time that used the example of a printer to confirm this. Where it becomes tricky is when you have something like public access to WiFi, using a Windows DHCP server. Technically, every user or device would need a licence; but as that isn't very practical to comply with we would just use a non-Windows DHCP server in that case.
This is Microsoft dropping ADS for upgrades - despite their words otherwise - when they think they can get away with it, it will be repeated in another form. :P
Can you do a presentation on WIN 10 vs WIN 11? I really like the simple navigation window Explorer in WIN 10 and now Microsoft is replacing with Win11 which is crazy.
And this is why sensible people don’t run Windows. Gimme FreeBSD, Linux or any open source POSIX compliant free OS any day over this disease that’s called Windows.
Going to be so funny when they push Recall out on Server Editions :)

Best advertisement to switch your DC to Linux.
Univention Corporate Server is compatible with Microsoft AD. You can install it alongside your AD servers, or migrate your DC to your UCS domain.
Microsoft gotta Microsoft
Not even servers are safe...

Nooooooo
Suspiciously bit to much "mistakes" from Microsoft side recently. Like instaling Virtual Computer system instead of fresh OS reinstall..
Well, that's one way to bump up de profits for the shareholders.
We seem to ask this question every single day with each of their products
Man reason why NOT to use windows server. Linux, Bsd, etc

I can tell you how we combat this. Every chance I get I turn off and remove Microsoft software.

Welcome to one of many reasons why I left the corporate IT world in 2018.
