"Reflecting this, many in the Apple-focused MDM space are now looking to extend their services to also cater to legacy platforms like Windows - enabling IT admins working to deploy Macs to add all their legacy kit to the same device management systems. That means it has never been easier to deploy Apple devices in an existing Windows-based infrastructure. What about security?"
"Will PC users listen? It's hard to say, but what is clear is that hundreds of millions must now make a tough and consequential choice: Do they risk continuing to use an operating system that isn't supported any longer, accepting all the security risks that go with that decision? Do they pay the non-trivial cost of upgrading to Windows 11, which likely also involves major spending on new hardware? Or do they look at alternative platforms, including Mac, Linux or even Chrome?"
Apple-focused mobile device management (MDM) providers are expanding to support legacy platforms like Windows, allowing IT administrators to manage Macs alongside existing Windows devices within the same systems. This convergence makes deploying Apple devices in Windows-based infrastructures easier than before. Hundreds of millions of users face a consequential choice: remain on an unsupported Windows release and accept growing security exposure, invest in upgrading to Windows 11 with likely substantial hardware costs, or migrate to alternative platforms such as Mac, Linux, or Chrome. Choosing to do nothing increases long-term risk as hackers will target unsupported Windows 10 vulnerabilities without mitigation from Microsoft.
