The things that IT Admins Care about

Workstation Stewardship

mirazon.com

The Windows desktop is the life blood of workforces and it is something people depend on…

This change to Windows 10 will be the last OS that people will have to become completely familiar with

Moving forward, changes will be more subtle and gentle and a lot less abrupt

Hopefully the days of working with end users all day after an OS change are over

Consistency

Windows 10 is the last version of Windows

Microsoft is changing its business model slowly but surely.

Getting away from being a software company and transitioning to a servicing provider.

In order to better handle the OS in the future Microsoft is going to do all OS changes through Updates.

Start thinking of your OS as WaaS (Windows as a Service)
