Microsoft, Dell Aim To Sell Surfaces To Businesses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the buy-this dept.

jfruh writes: Microsoft became an OS and PC behemoth in part by relentless focus on business sales, and is partnering with old friend Dell to try to recreate that success, trying to woo companies into buying Surface Pros loaded with Windows 10.

    What with Windows 10 telemetry and the backporting of same to Windows 8/7, my firm considers this to be the straw that broke the camel's back, and we are moving from Windows on the desktop to Linux and Macs, and FreebSD on the servers. We are a very small shop, only a handful of users, so this should be quick. To be honest, we have been looking for an excuse to do this.
