I wonder how often they clean stuff up like this. That crossed my mind earlier, I’m sure there is a bunch of “dormant” software that could be cleaned out or made optional in some way.
I’m sure the making it optional idea is easier said than done. Especially from a standpoint of discoverability and usability.

Right, it was referenced in one of the articles that a bunch of legacy industrial machines likely still use this hardware, so they’re probably going to have to go dig up PCI modems from that era without the Agere/Lucent chipset.

People using that legacy hardware generally can’t run Windows 10, which just ended support this month. The patch is only for Windows 11, which won’t run on older hardware.

The patch is for Windows 10, Windows 11, and Server 2008 up to Server 2025.
