Question – I’m starting to think about how we consider cross-platform scenarios. Can you share some info about what the team is doing with MacOS and Cross-platform capabilities?  – answered at 20:24.

Question – Is there a plan for Intune to check-in with devices faster to run install apps, config policies etc. Mainly platform scripts is the one that takes the longest. – answered at 22:12.

Is there anything on the roadmap to ease the conversion of apps from MECM to Intune?  I know currently there is a script that does this. This would be a value add for many as it get rid of some of the time consuming  administrative work.

Can you comment on Intune advanced scripting support roadmap to stay on par with JAMF?

Does that mean you have a solution to match other leaders in the area, for SSO based enrollment for MacOS devices? Namely using your UPN to provision and login to the device?

Is there are any plan in future to bring restored deleted configuration profile or compliance policy in tenant?

In reguards to Explore, if you don't use Copilot for Defender and sentinel automation. 
How many tokens could you expect to use for Explore purely for Intune admin use?

Is there a plan for Intune to check-in with devices faster to run install apps, config policies etc. Mainly platform scripts is the one that takes the longest.

When can we expect support for updating simple things as Outlook default fonts without registery or PowerShell for Exchange Online?

Can we somehow make grouping devices more robust in Entra and Intune? I'm thinking back to Configuration Manager, where we could group devices based on app installs, device specs, or really any other query we can imagine.

What about AI for MSP who rely on Microsoft Lighthouse with plenty of different (yet similar challenge) Intune Tenant to manage?
