Consumerization of IT Matrix
There are more than 19 products which support consumerization of IT and also a wide range of scenarios where Microsoft products support various devices. To help us and customers quickly understand all of this, I created an excel spreadsheet (https://aka.ms/coitmatrix) which maps capabilities and Microsoft products to which major computing devices we support across Apple, Google, and Microsoft (i.e. iPad, iPhone, Android slate/phone, Windows Phone, etc).

Microsoft IT and Consumerization of IT

TechEd 2012 : SIA203 – The Consumerization of IT (Microsoft’s CISO perspective)

Here is the link to the actual video on TechNet Edge: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/technet-radio-turning-science-fiction-into-science-fact-the-evolution-of-natural-user-interfaces

In this video with Mike Chan – we spend most of the ~6 minutes on the whiteboard explaining the various types of delivery mechanisms and the characteristics of each.  It is useful to give you a framework of wrapping your head around the landscape regardless of whether or not you are a Microsoft-only shop.

In the latest TechNet Edge show – where I focus on the broader “Consumerization of IT” topic, we dive into how Office really is available in these different delivery mechanisms – with a special focus on web apps.  It’s nice to see an example of how the higher level framework from the previous video plays out with one of Microsoft’s flagship applications.

This video (below) corresponds to the article - TechNet Radio: Top reasons to Deploy IE9 video(download formats at this link).

The question I have for enterprise customers is – why do you have Internet Explorer AND another browser installed in your company?  Is it because you let users install their own browsers/software?  have an outdated version of IE?

After covering the productivity features, we dive into why an enterprise might want to support Windows Phone over the competition such as Android or iPhone. We get into the new security and management capabilities being supported such as complex (alpha-numeric) password support, Information Rights Management support for protecting e-mails and Office documents, support for access to hidden Wi-Fi networks, and Exchange Active Sync management capabilities with System Center Configuration Manger 2012. Finally, we cover how Windows Phone enables companies to deploy their own applications only to their employees via the Windows Phone Marketplace.

• Windows Vista IE7 (with install bits on the drive for IE8)
• Windows 7 IE8 (with install bits on the drive for IE9)
• Windows 7 IE9 + ACT 5.6, Expression Super Preview.

It is very easy to duplicate the images and then just update the version of IE you’d like to keep.  I’d be happy to accept feedback on what you think of this new structure of VPC images available.  Do you care about having the various operating systems and versions of IE available, or do you only care about working with the various versions of IE?

1. Tracking protection stays on until you turn it off.  With IE 8 Filtering protection, you had to manually turn this functionality on with every browser session.  IE 9’s tracking protection provides a friendly GUI to turn on/off tracking protection for every site you visit or globally.
2. Numerous enhancements as to the capabilities for the type of content it can block from being tracked.
3. Standardized and more well adopted tracking protection lists from 3rd parties.

One other thing to point out is the difference between importing a tracking list into the privacy section of your IE 8 browser (a separate mechanism from In-Private Filtering) – this only protects you from cookie tracking.
