Several months ago I still used a multi-site licensed Windows 7 Ultimate and relied on the "Services for Unix" NFS support. My servers are Unix based. Went outside for a while and when I came back my Windows 7 Ultimate had been replaced by Windows 10 Pro. I really do not know how this happened because I always disable auto install.

My system is dual-boot Windows / Linux using Grub and somehow it did not break (showing that MS knows how to not break dual-boot). So I used Windows 10 Pro for a while only to discover that they removed "Services for Unix" NFS support which is now only available for Windows 10 Enterprise.

I've been using Linux for 20 years and am finally looking into not using Windows anymore at all. People may call it childish (my experience 20y advocating for Linux / BSD etc.), but I just do not trust them anymore. I also did not forget how they compared open-source with cancer and communism, something I think a professional company should never do.
