Exactly, MS are already covering these with Intune. Given the BYOD (Support your own crap) fad, they're already looking after non domain-joined devices running multiple OSes. Apple and Google don't need to get on board.
I'll be happy if it drops below 25 by midnight. Dropping to 19 means sealing the house and cranking the AC to 11. Then again, we have a cool change, 39 today and 29 tomorrow. A low of 18 should let things cool down overnight.
Immersive IE, the metro/ modern / Windows 8 store style Windows app version is slated to go away in Windows 10, so there'll only be two browsers. Given MS and their complete inability to name things I expect the difference will be IE / IE for business or IE / IE Express but I probably need more coffee to get more confusing.
Last month's security update that broke dialogue boxes in older SharePoint sites comes to mind. Mission critical web-app that nobody wants to pay to fix forced a roll-back.
I'd say Linux is the most used OS, specifically the Android distribution. Ignoring that, variety is good as long as people stick to standards. Microsoft is no longer the clear number one, so they have to play along as well. Even they don't insist on Windows these days. Look at the supported platforms for Office.
