Windows 7 came out in 2007, if I remember correctly. That was a time when it wasn't that uncommon to have a computer without an internet connection. Telemetry also wasn't really a thing, either - when you had crashes or usage data the OS thought might be useful to Microsoft, the OS actually asked you, and understood that no means no. Honestly, those were better times in that regard...
sorry for the nitpick but it's 2009! 2007 is more like vista (2006)
Ah, right - no problem. The IIRC was there for a reason.
