I don't get this strategy, honestly.
There's plenty of sensitive environments that need to be air-gapped from the internet where Microsoft's products dominate.
They seem to be giving up on that market entirely.

I mean sure, this isn't the case if you're on an AD. I just wonder for how long.
Every time I run the VM, it has windows updates to install. I guess it's a bit nicer swiping away from the VM and doing something else when it updates but it's a real solid reminder why I "moved away".
I've noticed there is a point in dual booting where you do enough in Linux that you can't get back to windows without it updating. This pushes you to stay longer and longer in Linux, to avoid the dreaded update.
I've already seen a few people accidentally pestering themselves out of windows this way.
You can disable with group policy. Or stop after boot the update service.
