Why don't we give the willy waving a miss?

Win 10 and 11 are steering you to cloud first, out of the box. That's fine if you like it, but I don't and quite a lot of my customers don't.

The real problem is about data sovereignty. I'm a Brit and ... MS isn't.

The article is about use in an enterprise. An enterprise runs professional/enterprise/ltsc versions which do NOT steer you to the cloud - what data sovereignty concerns have you seen in those editions of windows/server? They've gone through a lot of pains to ensure those concerns are taken care of for enterprises/governments so i'm curious the ones you think they missed.

You can make the argument for their consumer editions sure, but that's a different product with different features, different price point for different users.
