Why is the Multi-Provider mode needed?
Dear NT mgmt,
So, your great movement forward is to completely get rid of
license keys and associate all user entitlements with the
newly invented user credentials, and then make the sign-on
using those credentials require mandatory password entry.
No one begrudges the new user credentials replacement of
the license key concept, but everyone despises the mandatory
password entry.
Anyways, my complaint in this posting is different.
The M/P mode needs a complete overhaul.
I mean, with all the tremendous re-designing, all those decisions
to streamline access to desktop, mobile, and web, one with a
single set of cloud based credentials, why not design a way to
store this M/P setting as an entitlement with all the rest of the
user entitlements?
How many times in these forums have your NT Support staff
had to say 'enable M/P mode'?
Too many, latest one is here.
It is obvious, the current user experience with M/P mode has
been a failure. I mean, this 'mode' should have been a kind
of entitlement and stored with the other user settings in the
cloud.
The point is: M/P mode could be silently enabled automatically
by the sheer act of signing into the product, if it was made
an 'entitlement' associated with the user's credentials.
I'd like to ask that NT Support write a feature request to overhaul
M/P mode by storing it as a user entitlement setting in the cloud,
and remove the need for the user to manually enable this setting.
It seems ridiculous that the ability to add a local sim account
in the newer 8.1.x.x line requires M/P be enabled.
Please write a feature to remove this burden from the user,
since every current user who migrates to 8.1.x.x finds this
M/P setting is required for NT to operate like prior releases,
why isn't M/P just enabled by default for everyone?
I'm just saying, this massive redesign still needs tweaking.
And M/P mode is one of the things that should be addressed,
so that user's don't have to turn this feature on to get the product
to operate like releases prior to 8.1.x.x.
[Oh, nothing against the new sign-on itself, it is the mandatroy
nature of this sign-on that is so irksome -- credentials are fine,
in fact, they're a great idea, but the sign-on dialog needs some
tweaking with a 'Remember Me' setting.]
Just my 2˘.
