RIP – Software Restriction Policies

Microsoft have announced they are no longer developing Software Restriction Policies:

They’re suggesting the use of AppLocker or Windows Defender Application Control.

Now this is all well and good, but this is only really viable on Enterprise versions of Windows, probably another reason to go for Microsoft 365 Enterprise either E3 or E5, so that you get the Windows, Office and EMS all in one.
