Hello,

... we use TTLS and we know about this issue (we reported it to
Microsoft and it is fixed in since 1804 ;-)). The GEANT-Link is working
with Windows 8.1 and is even more reliable than the stock
supplicant. We do prefer using the same reliable system on all of our
devices and not the buggy and nearly unmaintained system from MS (it
took 6 Months just to make sure it is a bug and needs fixing...)

And as I said we did not have to provide two different guides for the
user just one for both... which is also a big help for our support-
team.
