It is funny to read the comments full of excitement.
To me the M1 thing fills me with dread.
To me I just see problems for the IT team. I already know our corporate VPN doesn't run on Big Sur. I have no hope for the monitoring app, or the Antivirus.
Apple is such a pain for corporate IT
- EricE 6y agoCorporate IT is often an even bigger pain for it's users since things like VPNs are often bought to meet the need of Corporate IT and not the users :p
- jimnotgym 6y agoYes, popular meme. However I have a bunch of users who suddenly upped and left the office in April and still needed access to in house resources, fileshares, intranet, reporting services. Things we haven't finished moving to the cloud. Perhaps you can tell me how else I should do that overnight without a VPN? Everyone elses job looks so easy doesn't it
- dkonofalski 6y agoWe did the same and our VPN worked fine then and works fine now on Big Sur. If anything isn't working for you, then I feel like that's your fault considering that 32-bit apps have been deprecated for years and kexts that were incompatible have been deprecated (and messaged) since at least Catalina. You, and whatever vendor you used, have had multiple years to prepare for the changes in Big Sur that would break this stuff.
- dkonofalski 6y agoThat seems like a corporate IT failure, not a failure of anything else. We just got an M1 Macbook Pro and nearly half of our machines are already updated to Big Sur and we haven't had any major issues. The only issue has been an old kext from Cisco that can't be approved anymore but it hasn't caused any major issues and Cisco has already let us know that there's an update to that incoming. In my experience, this transition has been way smoother so far (even with the limited input) than our changeover to Windows 10.
- jimnotgym 6y agoHow is it a corporate IT failure? When my predecessor chose the VPN provider it ran on all of the systems we used at the time. Corporate IT should have had a Crystal ball I guess
- dkonofalski 6y agoHow long ago was this? It's not like they made that decision before Macs existed...
