According to Microsoft, users who have installed the KB5095051 update might encounter a strange Recycle Bin bug that replaces the names of deleted files with internal Recycle...
is there any anecdotal evidence that IT departments are at least considering, thinking about, having an initial assessment of doing anything but just buying whatever slop microsoft is spewing out?
kinda feels like until the river of gold from enterprise sales slows there is no downside to microsoft burning their platform.
my anecdote is that no, IT is still a MS crack addict.
day to day people who don’t care about computers as a hobby memorize the steps to using their computers along with the icons. The average person couldn’t use Linux in a work environment simply because they lack critical thinking skills required to use a slightly different computing environment. Your everyday middle management refuses to cut productivity for long term change that isn’t overwhelmingly positive to their bottom line.
I’m curious what the people down voting you thought. You’re 100% right. Critical thinking is in surprisingly short supply. If I provide instructions with pictures that have big red circles and an arrow around what they need to click for each step, I still need to make sure the instructions aren’t more than like 7 steps otherwise they get lost.
It’s because they sell all of their products as a vendor package with advertised SLAs and “discounts”.
If your company needs cloud stuff and you happen to want Azure, you’re basically getting locked into Teams.
Unlike specialty software like Adobe, pretty much everything Microsoft offers has feature parity or superior alternatives, it just relies on the fact that businesses aren’t stuck on any one of their products.
There are actually a handful of companies that only use MacOS or Linux, but it requires both your IT team and management to be competent enough to throw MSFT away, which is much harder to do in a legacy settings when your entire domain infara is a 20+ year old AD domain.
The IT dept at my work uses exclusively Microsoft shit. Like, google products are banned on my work phone, as is pretty much everything else. They said this is for security and to help them remain GDPR compliant. As you might imagine, it’s shit.
Not entirely. It’s an android so it does have the play store, but only about a dozen apps are allowed to be installed. I can’t even install what 3 words, which my work uses constantly. Also I’d like to install the Google swipe keyboard, cos the Microsoft one is shit.
Basically, the combination of a device that’s locked down hard and it only allowing MS products makes my work slower and harder than it needs to be.

Nobody gets fired for buying Microsoft.

Fair. Thing is, Microsoft are changing windows anyway, what with all the unwanted features they’re integrating.

Including Play Store?
