Most wheel alignment software run by car repair shops were written for windows xp or vista, worked great because they are not make/model specific. Around 8 years ago these companies that made these aligner software started using hardware toggles and subscription only practices. hence most garages just kept using their old machines and air gaped them. i imagined most businesses that worry about legacy applications that run only on windows 7 or 8 have done the same. computers work perfectly fine without internet.

We have a similar situation at my work. Movie theater built in 2005, with led hall signs and box office info sign. The company that made the signs and the program for them is loooooong gone. We have a dedicated stand alone computer with XP running them.

Computers with Windows 7 and XP work perfectly fine without internet. Windows 11 now requires a Microsoft account just to install the OS.
