Ask Slashdot: Should Production Networks Avoid Windows 11?

Sunday February 19, 2023. 11:14 PM , from Slashdot
Slashdot reader John Smith 2294 is an IT consultant and system administrator 'who started in the days of DEC VAX/VMS,' now maintaining networks for small to medium businesses and non-profits. And they're sharing a concern with Slashdot.


'I object to Windows 11 insisting on an outlook.com / Microsoft Account OS login.'
Sure there are workarounds, but user action or updates can undo them. So I will not be using Windows 11 for science or business any more.... I will be using Win10 refurbs for as long as they are available, and then Mac Mini refurbs and Linux. My first Linux Mint user has been working happily for two months now and I have not heard a word from them.

So, as an IT Admin responsible for business or education networks of 20 users or more, will you be using Windows 11 on your networks or, like me, is this the end of the road for Windows for you too?
I'd thought their concern would be about Windows is sending user data to third parties. But are these really big enough reasons for system adminstrators to be avoiding Windows 11 altogether?

Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments. Should production networks avoid Windows 11?
