"enterprise customers" have proper security policies and tooling to enforce them in place.
My employer has a "small" utility that periodically checks for version of installed software and will warn me if I don't install the necessary updates. If I don't install updates for more then x days I'm cut off every network access to the corporate network, and I must first install the updates and then ask my manager to let me back in the corporate network (again, there's automated tooling for that).
So this push for "always on" bullshit is not what enterprises asked for.
Microsoft wants mac/ios/android-like experience, but just can't deliver such thing due to hardware fragmentation.
I never understood why microsoft doesn't go full apple and only allows certain top-tier features on surface laptops or other hardware they own from top to bottom.
If you're serious about software you can't underrate the role of hardware: Apple has clearly got this incredibly right, and it's a fundamental part of their value proposition.
- krelas 2y agoWhile I don’t disagree with you, if Microsoft started gating premium Windows features to their own hardware, both the US and EU would serve them the antitrust suit to end all antitrust suits.
- znpy 2y agoApple does that, gating the entire experience to their own hardware and I don't see much fuss. I guess Microsoft should go full-apple and allow microsoft windows ONLY on microsoft hardware?
