Why? Why even wanna see it? Just walk away, go to Linux, and find that suddenly you own your computer again
there's no chance my company stops using Windows any time soon
and until then, I need MS to stop doing their goddamn best to make it impossible for me to do my job
Unless you are locked in by hardware or some very specific software, you can make a very compelling case on how much your company can save on MS licenses every year.
Because the vast majority of users don't care enough to change what they're used to and learn something new. They just don't care that they don't own their computer.
Don't underestimate human inertia.
Hell, if MS ever really starts pushing VDI, I guarantee there will be mass adoption.
AVD is an expensive dystopian virtual nightmare right now.
