Sounds like you know what you are doing, wasn't trying to guilt trip anyone, just provide options. Despite the topic of the thread, windows is a much better os than it ever has been. If it is still possible to keep an install on some (potentially older version) running in a vm that would be sufficient mitigation against unscheduled MS decisions interrupting your business. I'm not an IT professional though, I just code.
