seems like "remove test devices from the internet" or "have the test environment router block microsoft IPs" would be a great strategy, but lol

My university doesn't allow machines older than 4 years on our network. Average machine age connected to a scientific instrument is at least 7.

actually it might be a good thing, since it effectively airgaps everyone and everything.

mspaint and solitaire were both tech demos for early windows. mspaint has only been very barely updated and solitaire they made a uwp for.

Yo paint.net is actually a great, free alternative to PS or Paint Shop Pro.

Photoshop and Adobe are loving slimy garbage and if you've found something else that works for you (like Pixelmator or something) more power to you.
