IT is working to come up with a configuration for her that we will also make available to other employees who want to use it. HR and Legal felt that although she is able to request accommodations for a sincerely held religious belief, this would have been an undue hardship to the company and it would be ok for us to deny her request. But ultimately we decided that she can still fulfill job requirements without Windows! That's pretty much it. Thank you for all the helpful advice Reddit!

Ah, Microsoft's "advanced AI" for Windows updates - apparently trained on the principle of maximum inconvenience. That code snippet reveals their sophisticated algorithm: if(user.isDoingStuff() && user.hasUnsavedWork()) { update(); } It's like they hired a team of sadists with computer science degrees. "Hey Bob, when should we force updates?" "I dunno, maybe when they're frantically trying to finish something important with a deadline in 5 minutes?" The only thing smoother about these updates is how smoothly they destroy your productivity. Microsoft's version of "AI" is just "Aggravating Interruptions."

That's the Portal cake logo with "The MSRP is a lie" repeated like a dystopian mantra. Graphics card prices haven't been this fictional since cryptocurrency miners were building rigs in their mothers' basements. Manufacturers slap on MSRPs that belong in fantasy novels while retailers mark them up to "market value" – which is corporate speak for "whatever desperate gamers will pay." Nothing says "modern computing" like needing a second mortgage for a GPU that'll be obsolete before you finish paying it off.
