This is one of the reasons Linux is so popular for cloud clusters: it's really easy to completely control updates. Basically, host your own package repository, update on your schedule, then tell all your servers to update as well.
Windows has similar tooling for the OS, but it doesn't have an answer for everything else other than a ton of hand-rolled scripts. If the store doesn't make that easier, the enterprise won't use it. This seems like a huge missed opportunity. It should be trivial for an enterprise to curate the store like they can on Linux.
- IdontRememberIt 7y agoTotally agree. But also on workstations. It would simplify so many maintenance tasks (updates, new installation, synchronisation, reinstall, etc.). I cannot even grasp the potential.
