Group Policy Central

I honestly have no idea, probably not, still it is interesting that the “Supported on:” section of any Windows 8 group policy settings does list “Windows RT”. Hopefully more information will come out about enterprise support for Windows RT after the  BIG SECRET Microsoft Tablet launch event that is going to be held this Monday (USA time).

When I recently spoke at Infrastructure Saturday I was there I was able to  interview Hugo Ortega the all round table guru (and Tablet MVP) from Tegatech Australia about the the stunning cool Windows 7 tablets that the company he works for makes. What I really liked about this was that this device was a really good example of what you can do with Windows 7 on a slate hardware device with a capacitive.

Now what does this have to do with Group Policy? Well these devices run fully blown Windows 7 meaning you can connect them to the domain and configure them via Group Policy (nice).

If you still think that Windows 7 is not a good for a table device these device also ship in a dual boot Windows 7 / Android configuration.
