>IF it had domain-joining support

Perhaps Microsoft's problem is that features like "domain-joining support" make their products "compelling."

Keeping your files and settings synced between multiple machines is a huge problem, and frankly MS has the best implementation available today. Who cares if they haven't given it a sexy name?

The problem is that "domain-joining support" means nothing to me (and probably 99.9% of the world). It may be a really cool syncing solution, but I'd never get that out of the name.

I know its hard to believe, but most folks work at large enterprises.

I know it's hard to believe, but they really don't.

Here are some numbers, in case either of you would prefer to use evidence to back up your statements.

thanks - i thought this was well known but i guess not. :)

You thought most people lived in the USA? You thought most people worked for US companies?

Nice numbers. Would you like some for France? Or Germany? Or even some relevant ones?

Here are the European figures: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/sme/facts-figures-an...

Next time you should focus on providing evidence to support rational discussion, instead of being facetious.

Sorry. I guess you missed my point in the previous post though. I was trying to say that French or German figures would be equally irrelevant because most people don't live in the USA or EU.

I don't think most people in Asia work for large corporations. These figures seem to back that up: http://www.apec.org/Groups/SOM-Steering-Committee-on-Economi...
