A senior Microsoft official who is the Windows chief has confirmed that the OS is set to "evolve" in a big way, however, there has been a massive backlash.
It’s the always active part that is the problem. I wouldn’t care if I needed elevated rights to do it when I needed to. Instead I literally have to use a virtual machine to set addresses on some devices, or else have to go through the update and restart process required to turn it off. And then turn it back on again to use the VM I need.
I truly hate that crappy industrial software has me chained to windows at work.
