Comment on Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are already sold out for the entire year, says Western Digital

Yes, of course

Except, i doubt anyone will be doing much with a 32 code Xenon CPU Windows snobs cant even run Windows on without a super giga 1000€ license for more than 16 Core CPUs

And the cuda only fanless and outputless GPU will also be kinda useless, especially because they all need a special setup to force feed air through the entire rack to not overheat

I mean it’s 64/128/256 cores for home/pro/workstation so not really. People buying aftermarket server parts that want windows can probably figure out how to type irm https://get.activated.win/ | iex if they don’t want to pay for it anyways lol.

I’m not using Windows servers at home but if I did then a license wouldn’t be a factor when deciding what hardware to buy.

  And on top: ROK ISOs by hardware vendors by HPE (and probably lenovo) don’t have the trial time limit and can be run indefinitely without a license.
  You only need to satisfy the requirement of running a supported motherboard during boot of the iso.
  Well…Too bad that I can (unlike in ESXi) modify the manufacturer string in proxmox to say whatever I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    At work we sell servers by HPE.
    We create Install-ISOs from the included install ISO.
    
    At boot the Installer checks if the system is manufactured by the vendor.
    If it is: It continues boot and offers you the installer options
    If it is not: It will fail with a message that the manufacturer doesnt match.
    
    On ESXi you need to pass the argument smbios.reflectHost = true (or something along those lines)
    
    Dunno how HPE customized the install.wim
    But you can probably get those for cheap on ebay and maybe compare the wims for differences.

You clearly have a very restricted imagination about what ideas people could come up to use such hardware…
