Microsoft is intentionally taking aim directly at IT departments by creating a situation where it’s impossible to keep up. Every monthly update adds another nag pop up, or disables, moves, or “accidentally” resets the switches to turn them off. Unless you have someone working full time to manage Edge and these nags, it’s impossible to keep up. They’re doing this on purpose.
You can even see it in the error messages they show. For example, if you disable the App Store, it shows a big message to the user “This feature has been disabled by your IT department”, which drives animosity where people complain that “IT is blocking me, and if we just got rid of them (i.e. used the cloud instead), we would all be happy and run the apps we want like I can on my phone”.
IT controls directly prevent users from signing up with other paid services, so their incentive is to get rid of IT.
- OldGuyInTheClub 3y agoMicrosoft's Cloud is so grisly I don't think anyone on the technical side at my shop would want any more of it than has been shoved down our throats. Office365 takes the already bad Office "experience" to new lows. Sharepoint is the 40% solution to problems we don't actually have. The Cloud Drive is so clunktacular it is a chore to load or save anything. No way to map any of that to a shortcut so it is click, wait, click, wait, click wait. Per file. Teams does everything Skype does worse and more slowly. We actually think that our IT and Microsoft are in it together and that we, the users, are their mutual enemy.
