Microsoft plans to lock down Windows DNS like never before
- znpy 2y agoMicrosoft continues the war against its own users.
- lozenge 2y agoMost users want the DNS of the Internet, not of their own ISP.
- stock_toaster 2y agoMicrosoft's real users are governments and large corporations -- seat licenses, admin tools, services, etc. Everyone else using their OS is just another one the products Microsoft can sell to their real users.
- init2null 2y agoIt wouldn't be quite so frustrating if it wasn't almost impossible to buy enterprise-equivalent licenses as an individual. Why can't it be as easy as Office 365? I am mystified as to why Microsoft is so disinterested in taking our money.
- jasomill 2y agoSo long as you're willing to pay enterprise subscription prices for both Office and Windows with no volume discount, single-user subscription licensing for Windows Enterprise is exactly as easy as subscribing to Office 365: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/e3 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/e3 (click "Try free for one month >", enter an email not already associated with a 365 org, and note that, under "Company size" in the resulting sign-up form, the first option is "1 person") AFAIK, non-subscription licensing is still as much of a hassle as it's always been — volume licensing, minimum purchases, partners — and the page for a base Windows Enterprise subscription without Office offers "Contact Sales" with no listed price as the only purchasing option.

- trynumber9 2y agoBy the way, Windows 11 Pro is pretty much a scam now. "If it is free, you're the product" well it seems even if you pay you are still the product too. It installs adware if you use Google Chrome and launches that whenever it pleases (usually in the middle of using Chrome). And remember: no refunds! I asked.
- bifrost 2y agoI predict this is a total disaster.
- albertopv 2y agoSw engineers have been so pissed off by Windows 11 that the company I work for now allows Ubuntu installation on corporate notebooks.
