Even Apple let you side load apps onto an iOS device if you're a developer... Microsoft is definitely setting it up for a stumble (again) similar to WinRT.
- UK-AL 9y agoYou can probably side load uwp apps if you want to.
- blackoil 9y agoYou can also sideload app all you want, just upgrade for 10S to home/pro/..
- PeterisP 9y agoThe way to protect against 0-day exploits is to have a smaller attack surface. If you remove stuff from the OS, you're not vulnerable to 0-days in that stuff anymore. They're not intended to be developer machines - imagine the recent UK NHS WannaCry situation; it would be very, very nice if most of these NHS systems were running a locked down not-general purpose OS. If you're deploying a hundred "office PC appliances", then you'd prefer if they could not be simply sideloaded with stuff to make them developer machines, you'd want a clear separation between that - e.g. installing the normal Win 10 instead of Win 10S.
