My first “tech job” was supporting DOS games at EA in the late 90s. Post windows 95 they still had some bargain flight sims that seemed popular. I can’t remember the exact numbers but one of the sims checked for sufficient RAM. I think you

Where did they mention cost concerns? I’m reading this that it’s an IT/procurement hassle dealing with the Windows Pro upgrade licenses, on a platform they don’t feel is secure, not a cost issue.
