When Will I Be Able To Use My Own Tablet As My Work Computer?

Answer»

One of the key devices Windows 8 has been aimed at is the tablet. It’s TOUCH ready, and ready for you to take it with you. It has also been designed to help IT DEPARTMENTS manage the huge rush of personal devices into the workplace. The consumerization of IT is making end-users the champions of new technology devices, a role that was previously held by the IT STAFF.

Determining whether or not a computer is yours, or one you’re just using temporarily, is handled by the Windows 8 feature “User Device Affinity.” User device affinity uses usage percentage, amount of time logged in, and number of times logged in to determine if the computer BELONGS to you enough to call it “your computer.” If it is the computer that you usually use, REGARDLESS of who actually owns the computer, your Windows 8 tablet will identify it as a primary device. A new feature in System Center Configuration Manager 2012 allows administrators to target those primary devices for software installations, whether they are company owned or employee owned.
