Why even use windows at that point? You can train your employees to use other operating systems that won't have dark patterns to leak sensitive data.

Can't speak for the medical school but my guess is familiarity. Can't remember what the Mac landscape was like at that point but it probably wasn't vetted enough for HIPAA. And windows 7 wasn't that shitty at the time.

And even so, let's say they didn't use Windows — I'd still expect the same rigor for any operating system update.
