Is Microsoft losing the plot, or is this just another push towards Windows being PaaS on your own infrastructure?

It's not that hard to unplug an Ethernet cable during install or decline to enter your WPA2 key until you're finished.

I agree, but it's certainly a non-obvious solution to what should be a default and easily accessible option.
Does Win 8 act the same way? My pop has to enter a user/password to login and I'd like to strip that off if possible.

What do you mean? You can make any version of Windows automatically log an account in on boot, even with a password.

So lately we have the EDGE. How is that good at all?

The sad thing is that some insurance agents I do for work just last week got instructions that they are to only visit certain insurers' sites with IE mode Edge. I tried to explain why this was a terrible idea in 2023 and yesterday I forwarded them the same news article about it going away. But if a company can't be bothered to update its web site in eight years, maybe they aren't a company anyone should deal with. I suppose next they'll get instructions to set up Windows 7 virtual machines. That'll be fun.

I'm hoping it's not State Farm.
Mostly I work with Farmer's agents and independents, but the sites are names you'd recognize if you've ever worked with an independent insurance agent.
I surely hope that the actual records are kept on some controlled computers somewhere else and the local junk is just for access and office work.

Spybot Anti-Deacon has gone whack. Now every time the FireFox starts it starts asking all sorts of questions, and if you skip all that stuff it does it again next time it is opened. The defect is caused by SpyBot 3.9. SpyBot 3.8 is fine.

Do you have the paid version of Spybot or just the freebie? Firefox isn't being doing anything differently from normal on a freshly installed Windows 10 + Spybot (with Anti-beacon) for me.
It did take 40 minutes for signature updates to download, though.

I just checked using the freebie, but Safer-Networking applications have been obnoxious on Windows 10 since it came out. I believe Windows Defender was even marking Anti-Beacon as unwanted software for a minute, probably because Anti-Beacon disables the telemetry stuff Microsoft insists on using.
