@mereeedithh Sad to see. Yuki seems super talented but immaturity could be the thing that holds him back from major race seat

@maryjofoley @QuinnyPig 😀 @maryjofoley - I think your indexing on my big aussie exterior. I could easily pass for a truckie. I think it would be fun!

@maryjofoley @U8N20 This has actually happened @maryjofoley i.e. I jump onto a call and people are talking about a container and I have to listen for a bit to determine whether were talking software or the big physical unit out the back of the building

Microsoft made substantial headway in its goal to morph from the Windows company to a cloud company over the past decade. Here's my look back at some of the big milestones: zdnet.com/article/the-20…

@marypcbuk @DSolodow Not really. MMD factory images are tightly aligned with M365 capabilities we light up for enterprise, security and the runtime policies we implement. However, when OEMs fix driver bugs to meet MMD reliability / performance bar - yes, those improvements flow into sig images. HTH

@NasherxDL @vmwarehorizon Depends on what you're trying to achieve. Food for thought, we find productivity apps get highest usage. On MMD, productivity app usage is not extra $$ vs VDI as using local PC cycles, we (MS MMD) do heavy lifting on mgmt. Local execution also == better user experience

@DSolodow @marypcbuk We work with OEMs to develop optimized factory image for MMD catalog models if necessary (drivers etc.) based on global diagnostics for specific model, tune our runtime policies and code, constantly monitor global devices and tune (rinse/repeat).

@danielricciardo Damn right @danielricciardo. That last lap was the most interesting piece of the whole boring race. There's something seriously wrong with the FIA, in the last two races they have taken actions to penalize the drivers that actually race and make F1 a spectacle.

Lets challenge assumptions. You don’t have to trade off #UserExperience on PCs in the name of security. This article discusses our architectural approach in the #MicrosoftManagedDesktop service where we (MS) run customers’ PCs. x.com/Microsoft365/s… #windows10 #itmanagement

@markwbuse @nathanm With MMD, we run our customers PC fleets. These devices are cloud connected, monitored, secured and managed. Not running in datacenter. HW catalog includes some Winterminals and fixed PCs for call-center profile. However, mostly mobile PCs since fixed PCs in decline for years now
