that's the thing i'm tolkien about, to set that up with the native vpn client you either have to dig through a bunch of legacy control panels or use powershell

except of course apple's money is in secondary services and hardware, whereas Microsoft is trying to tie that model to the OS itself and. well here we are.

Honestly I'm very bearish about the long term sustainability of Microsoft. New companies will spend a tenth of what old companies are by using Chromebooks or something like that, and now for internal workflows you already have platform independent or browser based software... When people realize the loving millions they're throwing away for a piece of poo poo software like windows that will require your IT to janitor it 24 hours a day they might think twice Of course they'll still have O365 and Azure, but Windows doesn't look very good, and it's on the Enterprise that they make money

I mean Excel is pretty much all-purpose but many times what you're doing in Excel can be done more cheaply and faster in any other of the billions of applications that now exist, it's just a matter of looking for it What I'm trying to say here is not that in 5 years no one will use Windows, but now you have something that didn't happen for a while, IT pretty much everywhere is tired of Microsoft's bullshit plan of trying to be apple when they obviously can't

Windows 10 is more like a city service, where everyone is taxed for it but then gets to use it at no additional cost.
