SCOOBE has been a thing since Windows 10. I got hit with it again just this week on a machine that's run W10 for nearly half a decade. "Let's install O365! And move your stuff to OneDrive! And replace Firefox with Edge! And use your Android phone to connect to your PC!"

And this is why I will never build another Windows box again once I replace my VR headset, nor have I recommended Microsoft products in Enterprises for several years, now. It's still my area of expertise, but the company is - somehow - more hostile to its customers than Oracle.

Yeah, same sentiment. If at all possible, use linux on the enterprise side. Virtually all of the main domain infrastructure can be migrated. Granted, it's actually very painful, especially for those uninitiated.

So there's that.. But once it's done, I imagine life'd be much smoother for a veery long time.

With Valve launching a VR headset, hopefully we'll see Linux be a viable option for that
