A few days ago, Davuluri shared his excitement about it on his official X handle. He seemed very eager to reveal what the company has in mind at the upcoming Ignite event regarding the agentic OS plans.

Unfortunately for Microsoft and Davuluri, the response has been overwhelmingly negative, so much so that the comments on that X post have now been disabled.

Made me laugh. :)

    My last company was a software dev and even they were only 70/40 Windows/Mac.

    Yes, seems lots of European agencies are moving to FOSS, but more towards open office solutions. Moving to Linux for the OS makes fleet management pure hell. I know LDAP exists, but that doesn't begin to compare to AD.

    Please tell us the name of this 110% software dev, so we can avoid it. There is a min amount of math needed here.

    Made a typo smartass, and you know it. 70/30.

    Now tell us all how smart you really are. Tell us how to manage a fleet of Linux or Mac machines, or even a mixed environment. One reason I passed an interview was with this very question! Go.

    I don't work in the industry anymore, but I did manage a few "fleets" in my day. However I do know that if I made such a typo (on the literal only data point) I would also be poked fun of when I did work in the terrible tech world. And if I lashed out I would be further dragged over the coals as let's face it, that would be kinda pathetic.

    I feel like AD is a solution for a problem that Microsoft created.

    It is a solution for a problem that companies had and isn't solved in Linux.

    Because Linux users think all computers need to be as open as possible, while Windows admins know we need to protect users from themselves. Especially when it comes to highly important data.

    Even letting users install software themselves leads to users installing wrong version, malware, software they don't need, software they shouldn't use, incompatible software, and software they have no clue about but someone recommended.

    The most vulnerable aspect of cybersecurity is still the users.

    You do know you can use AD with Linux, don't you?

    I would love an explanation of how AD can control Linux machines! Can I reset you Linux password over AD? Can I lock you out of using removable media? How the hell do GPOs work?!

    AD isn't simply authentication, grouping computers and users. LDAP does all that.
