Hardly surprising, modern Windows is designed for, and sold to, administrators. Users can suck it.


My experience is that users like to have their network drives and printers mapped for them. They like to not have to think about updates. Business users want consistency. Windows gives them that.


If anyone really cared about users they wouldn’t forcibly reboot their desktops in the middle of the day to install updates, which is par for the course in every large organisation I’ve worked in.


That is the administrators choice. You can't blame Microsoft for that. I personally prompt my users to reboot.
