Has anybody tried this yet? Do prompts and obstructions gurgle up from a chocked-off OS that insists on calling home? If not this might be a way to lessen the annoyance and maybe partly contain damage from the coming mandatory interruptions for "upgrades"/advertising/driver interference together with bug patches.
I wonder (from early reaction) whether part of the price of Windows has become trying to figure out how to protect oneself from the OS itself, the OS one supposedly owns (well, "licenses"), which really is beginning to resemble malware, serving as it does other agendas and dedicated to pestering, distracting, confusing, registering and just generally blanketing some of us with Hobson's choices.
I see some Resolvers reverting to Win 7. That, I gather, would at least cost us the benefit of Direct X 12 on newer GPU devices; how important is that? Would there be a hit also to Resolve 12 performance? To any BM hardware? Anyone from BlackMagic on this?
The Enterprise version is only a way out for businesses above a certain size, as is the Linux. As for Mac -- not everybody can fit into that walled garden.
