    I would guess probably not soon. Windows still needs to be able to comply with many industries needs for compliance (ITAR, HIPAA, Financial, etc etc.) If they remove the ability to control this, they cut themselves out of their largest profit area (corporate licensing).

        Nah, won’t happen.

        Microsoft is generally very reasonable when it comes to GPOs

        no regulator is going to crack down; their market share is too big.

        The bigger a company’s market share is the more likely regulation is. Hell, the EU has already done this but for internet explorer.

        Microsoft won’t depreciate GPOs in many many years, at least.

        Has anyone else noticed that MS switched their search engine? I have never heard of that. Sounds like a bug or something.
