    iOS devices being almost entirely consumer oriented, it makes sense in that environment to automate the process and make it as "easy" as possible, at the cost of control. If Microsoft goes down this route, it's only a matter of time before enough corporate customers complain and force them to address the issue. I'll wait until then to adopt Windows 8 and its server cousins.

    I agree with this. The iOS style of updates makes sense for consumer devices but not in an enterprise business environment. All things are more tightly controlled in an enterprise environment. It would be bad for Microsoft to do this for enterprise servers and environments. :crazy:

    Apple has found the iOS devices being adopted more and more by businesses but have seen no need to amend the way they do their upgrades/patches and I can see this continuing. The iOS philosophy is to have everything controlled by the manufacturer so if anything goes wrong they can pinpoint where the problem is - hence the refusal to have Flash on iOS.
