"resistanze is futile"
I hope not,
You do not have to take my word for it, of course
These kind of moves are happening for a longer period of time now, and although i don't know the long term strategies of companies like MS, these strategies are also dictated by larger companies and governments that want to have a secure and safe (working) environment.
Imho, that is simply an illusion when still depending on and utilizing existing resources.
I have worked with MS and MS products for a longer period of time in the past, and what i see in practice is that "smart" companies move away from that. On the long run that could proof them wrong, but as things are right now, i don't blame them either. I'm moving away from it as well also looking around for (even) better alternatives.
