Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?
A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.
On the other hand, this makes it much easier for a corporation to spy on its employees, so I think at least some of them are in favor of this.
If employees are using the corporate’s computers, they can already see everything the employees do, they don’t need this new window feature to do it
That is by no means necessarily the case. For example, if a notebook is taken into the field and is not on the LAN.
Hmmmm it depends… Are they going to make more money by spying on employees than they’ll lose in lawsuits?
I think COVID WFH policies proved the majority of us do not need someone breathing down our necks to perform
And yet management is desperate to end WFH policies and has done so in many companies.
