I would do anything for a modern version of Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. Now THAT was a professional OS. I would even pay for it.

I rode Windows NT 4.0 into the ground. It was a truly professional operating system.

Honestly, Windows 7 and Windows 10 have been configurable into a mostly serviceable state. It was much more of a hassle to keep Windows 10 tamed, but tamed it can be.

I worry that Windows 11 will require a bunch of disassembly to get it operational, so I will keep Windows 10 until it is no longer supported.

Google "Enterprise LTSC IoT."

Downside is that "I would do anything" doesn't begin to describe what will be necessary to obtain a legitimate license.
