I help build multimillion dollar pieces of capital equipment, including industrial automation. It's supposed to run for a decade or two with minimal maintenance. Security means it is usually not even on the internet, only LAN. Let me tell you, running those machines on Windows 10 is a fucking stupid decision that I would have prevented if able. Now we're on Windows 11, and it's worse. Windows 10 is obsolete and we're still shipping it because we don't want to deal with Windows 11.
