Like you can't do in place upgrades? Or more correctly, in place upgrades don't preserve system settings, services or data so Redhat strongly suggests fresh installations when moving to a new major version?
Filling out a ticket has become mandatory in our company, since they report on how many tickets you complete but "that metric doesn't matter". Uh huh, I am sure Bob, who closes twice as many tickets as Frank yet does half the work looks a lot better in the boss's eyes.
It's not because a lot of IT is outsourced for processes that need to be handled onsite?
That, combined with intense budget constraints that mean resources are extremely limited, and what can be spun up at an offsite facility by Amazon cloud services in moments can't be replicated locally because of no disk space, no memory, etc.
in my experience end users generally only know what they need to do get the task done. They have very little troubleshooting experience or expertise. You may have made them aware there is a firewall, but once you help them they will keep coming back to you whenever there is an issue and often assume it has to do with the "firewall" or the "router" when it could be something completely unrelated.
It may seem trivial to you, but can you guarantee that if you lose your phone someone won't be able to unlock it and use the attached services that you have hooked into? You haven't bypassed the exchange pin requirements somehow?
Can you guarantee your device does not contain malware of some kind?
I think the point is that if you are an admin of a specific release of a product from a vendor, the further behind on the upgrade path you are the less useful your skills are.
Not sure how it's anti competitive when they already had share to facebook and twitter years ago and this just seems to replace the weird mini network with google+
quite a valid point, however, do they state whether the URLs are going to change, or if the only real difference is the addition of sharing to Google+ instead of the weird mini social network that you currently share items to. Same with likes. And a redesign.

Security is for the benefit of the people who are directly engaged in carrying out the mission, just ask Sony.

What's IT? help desk? Sysadmins? Developers? etc.
IME, help desks are staffed by people who can barely speak English and follow a script. "You want to run foxfire?"

It's not each individual employee that makes the purchasing decisions in these instances, is it?
With regards to HIPAA and other regulations, security needs to be guaranteed in most instances.
Yes, because a server can stop someone from opening up sensitive email messages from a device that has bypassed the pin login requirement.
Or, you have a single platform.
Who gets the blame for sensitive information being let loose upon the world? The user or the IT staff for not securing the device?
company provided hardware is something the IT staff would have a better chance being familiar with, of course.
It's not only execs that want hand holding, it's the jerkwad project managers and developers, too

And when the user has jailbroken their iphone to bypass the pin entry, what do you recommend the solution be?
Can you prevent or even detect a jailbroken phone?
Just what we need, a proprietary solution with associated license fees for every product or family of products from different vendors.
just go down to best buy and get a few linksys wifi routers and enable corporate wide wifi....
So, what is IT's recourse if you bypass the pin and other security requirements?
of course, security doesn't even enter your mind.

reader already does this...
I am not sure that's a good or a bad thing!
I had an HP dv7t a couple of months ago, Windows 7 did not find all the drivers it needed automatically, by a long shot.
