1 TopicNew Window feature : safe BOYD for desktop dividing windows OS in environments
Hi, I was thinking we are more and more pushing BOYD at office, but bring your own computer brings a lot of troubles to IT because it is not easy to secure. What if in the next windows version we could have spaces, completely separated running seemlessly on the same computer. We could have one space for our personnal usage with our own softwares, games, browser, vpn if any, and so on with complete freedom, and on the other a professional space with total control from the company on software and security settings. If done well, like containers the OS could share resources without duplicating all the hardware usage. Would required some work on drivers to allow to divide memory space or a storage drive into different spaces to have different security applied for example. That would help a lot reducing the number of computers people own, companies could propose to provide a computer or money to support employee own equipment, and no longer requiring multiple computers. For consultants working for clients could also avoid providing a computer for each client they work on, could all be just more professional spaces of the same computer. Of course you cannot start 10 spaces at the same time on a small laptop, but usually you would have maybe 2 at the same time, max 3 and not one running a game... What do you think ?
