Realistically, how many real people actually use PXE? It must be tiny. Seems strange to include what is essentially a business function in a product for normal people.
- saltminer 5y agoAny IT department that images devices, for starters. The number of people who actually use it is quite small, but the number of devices those people image with PXE is massive.
- tentacleuno 5y agoRight, but "IT department" falls under business use. I was talking about people who aren't technically inclined.
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoI consider netbooting like drawers in the kitchen, where I grab tools according to task. Be it preparing meals, or actually eating. In a reversal of what you call business function, I'd consider it as my business to do what I want in my space when I want, how and where. That shrinkwrapped pre-installed OS/Appstore is just another business sector, which the masses have been conditioned into accepting. Convenient. But sometimes not, rather the opposite.
