Are you suggesting that Lenovo couldn't have done this if Linux was preinstalled?

Once again, "cloud connected" devices are not properly secured.
Shocker.
What you did there - I see it.
Aren't most major search sites using SSL now? How would AT&T be able to track search terms if the traffic is encrypted?
Get yourself a pair of Bose QC25.
Did you just tell an audio engineer to buy Bose products? Why don't you kick his dog and call his mother a whore while you're at it.
Email is moving towards webmail that scans your emails to do targeted advertising. Doing everything in the cloud makes it way too easy for companies to extract value from users.
This is true, but even if you don't use their webmail interface, the free email service providers can still scan your email. There's nothing to stop them from doing that.
How can Microsoft justify Windows 10 on a less powerful device like Raspberry Pi 2 and not support on the Surface RT?
Seems pretty stupid to me to purposely screw over the people that bought the RT models that are perfectly capable.
Social Security and Medicare costs are only going to get worse as our population ages. And those costs are what is really tanking the federal budget.
I don't think that SS or Medicare are a part of the annual budget. I think those are separate and fully operate when the government shuts down because a budget has not passed.
Could be wrong though.
Even if they had push apps, the value proposition isn't there any more.
You could be right about the value, but in my job security trumps a small difference in value. I choose not to allow VPN to BYOD devices. I also chose to containerize business apps/email that cannot interact with the personal space on the device.
To block with activesync: "New-ActiveSyncDeviceAccessRule –QueryString 'Outlook for iOS and Android' –Characteristic DeviceModel –AccessLevel Block"
To quarantine: "New-ActiveSyncDeviceAccessRule –QueryString 'Outlook for iOS and Android' –Characteristic DeviceModel –AccessLevel Quarantine"
BES 1x doesn't do our corporate apps.
The corporate VPN already does secure connections fine. Just a new client.
And people want tablets that are not worth trying to shoehorn into BES.
Oh, and it's all cheaper.
I don't think you've checked. BES12 covers tablets just fine. I haven't tried to push apps yet, but I have heard that they are working to expand that area for iOS and Android.
The plan where I work is to roll out first IOS and then Android apps to securely run corporate email, calendar, etc (?) Over the VPN. Then kill the BES servers.
Security is a very big deal here. That's why the mobile apps are taking so long to be finished. BES is no longer worth the money, and we all want to use our own phone anyways.
Then use BES10 or BES12. It can create secure containers in iOS and Android that completely separates sensitive company data from the rest of the device - just like BB does. It's perfect for BYOD.
I'm not sure that allowing the devices to VPN into the corporate network is a good idea. I'm not sure how you would control access without some sort of mobile management software like BES12 or other alternatives.
the default client for iPhone (mail, contacts, calendar) has supported the exchange protocol for many years now.
No, they have supported ActiveSync which is different from MAPI. They are not the same protocol.
I use Sophos at the office and they allow free home use for all employees. It's solid stuff.
