Haven't interacted with a #Microsoft product in a long, long time, then my son got really into #Minecraft and I bought a Windows computer. So far I've found:
1. Not only is internet required to install Windows, *you also need a Microsoft account*¹.
2. The Switch, Xbox and PS4/PS5 versions of Minecraft can only connect to "featured" servers rather than custom servers.²
Not a good track record for like... 1 week of interacting with their products.
¹I realize that there's some convoluted way to do this, but it definitely derailed me from doing the Windows install when I wanted to. Particularly since I'm just dual-booting Windows as a "just-in-case" type situation.
²Luckily someone has [hacked around this requirement](https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect), though who knows how long that can last.
Looks like you also can't enable Full Disk Encryption unless your device meets certain standards? WTF, Windows? There is no way that this PC I have doesn't have enough hardware to do FDE.
