      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).

        I think if they just unilaterally make the move, or charge extra for the feature, no regulator is going to crack down; their market share is too big.

          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.

            “Won’t happen. Can’t flood. Hey does anybody else hear water?”

            I genuinely can’t tell if this was intentional but its hilarious either way.

                  I said that they won’t mess with the GPOs.

                  I doubt that MS switched anyone’s search engine purposefully. But that’s more likely than them messing with the GPOs.

                  Them switching search engine hasn’t ever happened to me at least.
