Hi all, my company still relies on a few Windows applications and runs Windows desktops. The reliance is decreasing however, there are some obstacles if we migrate to "something else" (Linux most likely, maybe some tablets for a few roles) Anyway, I have problems to imagine how other, especially bigger companies dealing with Windows networks see the future. We are still buying Windows 7 licenses, we do not consider Windows 8 as a good option. I have problems to understand how Microsoft itself sees their future in big company environments where people use MS Office, Word, Excel, Outlook.. etc. There are questions about "going touchscreen" or not, there are questions about security issues (apps, even the installation needs a live.com account etc. - that all makes it quite difficult to establish a trusted network sometimes even legally required, e.g. in banks) etc. These questions are "brewing" for a while and I haven't found good answers in my little bubble yet.. Do you see any "movements" in these Windows environments, have own strategies etc? I am really curious. At this stage I consider moving away from Windows (middle term, will take a while and cannot start immediately), establishing a Linux desktop environment with Web applications and LibreOffice and Thunderbird. I have problems to imagine what to do with our engineers using AutoCAD, and there is a bit of software used by our Chief Accountant. Some kind of virtualisation or remote access to windows server with remote services enabled may be in the mix but especially AutoCAD cannot be run that way. For a while we can stall at Windows 7 and just wait.. but in the long run we have to make a move somehow. As said, any thoughts and observations welcome. Thanks Peter
