"We use MS products for our business because it provides enterprise level security"
When I tell Windows-centric tech people that these days, they can't wrap their brains around it. There is no institutional memory of Microsoft's dumpster fire days.
What I want is Little Snitch on steroids built into the OS where every process, including all native ones, including UI apps, are blocked from network connectivity by default, and the user gets an easy monitor of outgoing traffic with TLS/SSL inspection built in (you'd need some OS API to enable that). Kind of like granular oauth permissions, apps should have to declare which outgoing they have, a description/why, an…
Microsoft's OS.
It would be asking Microsoft's OS to tell it about traffic Microsoft's software wants to keep secret.
I'm sure there's a world where that isn't a laugh line, but I certainly don't live there.
You did consent to it, in the fine print. Unfortunately.
Not even. It’s an explicit feature that must be separately enabled, and requires Microsoft 365. > The first time you try out Designer, it may ask your permission to get design ideas for you. If you want to use Designer, select Turn on. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/53c77d7b-dc40-45c2...

I'm kind or envisioning some young bright engineer realizing they could just store some files locally. "It's like.. we don't need a backend at all!"
And we'll need a programming language that we can write our application in once but will still run on the different operating systems.

> is like driving 60 mph on a road with no lane dividers That’s somewhat funny, because a Landesstraße in Germany has no lane dividers and the speed limit is 100 km/h (about 60 mp/h). Unless I’m misunderstanding and lane dividers mean the printed lines.
There are a lot of roads in the US with a 55MPH speed limit and no lane dividers. In many states, all rural roads with no posted speed-limit have an assumed speed limit of 55MPH. People drive 60 on such roads all the time.
