I was under the impression (from an MS developer conference) that Win 10 was the last Windows to be built.
Everything 'new' was just going to be (forced) updates.
So never a 'new' version of windows.
Maybe not true now or changed?

Microsoft should stick to what they are good at - Software and Cloud stuff. Azure is awesome.

Great idea in theory, but in practice BYOD is a security nightmare.
During transition, I have to connect to Guest internet rather than BYOD. Is BYOD is heavily locked down. Though Guest is hardly open....

Is it another idea that was good on paper but a nightmare to implement properly (security on and off the corporate network) or is it still gaining popularity?

So we move away from Windows10 to Windows11/Windows12 or maybe straight to Windows13 which is the most appropriate.

You may loathe Apple because their systems are not running Microsoft for everything, but that’s a good thing in my book.
I don’t loathe Apple. I have a MacBook Pro , an iPad and an iPhone. I also have a surface and a PC. I have no preference but there is a genuine business case for windows phone for the business.
It’ll be back.

The business offer everyone who needs a phone a windows phone. If the precious snowflakes want an iPhone that’s £300 of salary sacrifice. Both can do the business stuff (all office365/azure based) and both can be managed.
