Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud
Microsoft has been increasingly moving Windows to the cloud on the commercial side with Windows 365, but the software giant also wants to do the same for consumers. In an internal “state of the business” Microsoft presentation from June 2022, Microsoft discuses building on “Windows 365 to enable a full Windows operating system streamed from the cloud to any device.”
The presentation has been revealed as part of the ongoing FTC v. Microsoft hearing, as it includes Microsoft’s overall gaming strategy and how that relates to other parts of the company’s businesses. Moving “Windows 11 increasingly to the cloud” is identified as a long-term opportunity in Microsoft’s “Modern Life” consumer space, including using “the power of the cloud and client to enable improved AI-powered services and full roaming of people’s digital experience.”

In the fast-paced, ever-evolving tech landscape, Microsoft stands as a paradigm-shifting disruptor. It's a behemoth at the cutting edge, continuously leveraging its robust ecosystem to synergize with the zeitgeist of innovation. Through its holistic approach, it pivots dynamically to reimagine the value propositions across diverse verticals.
Frick I hate The Verge.
They'll moralize about the most trivial shit related to video game characters and Twitter spats but then they open their mouths as wide as possible to fellate corporations that do some of the stupidest, non-consumer-friendly bullshit (as obviously sponsored posts).

Daily reminder that you can totally disable OneDrive in group policy. It breaks a bunch of stuff but you're probably not using 95% of it anyway.

I was so happy to learn that pressing F12 brings up the classic Save dialog box in Office. No, I don't want to default to saving my shit to Onedrive. I shouldn't have to hit More Locations > On This Computer > Browse to save something to the desktop.

You can already do this by signing into your MSFT account from the web browser.
By making it a "cloud OS," they're trying to break into the IoT sector. Any shitty hardware will magically run windows from which they gather further data. Walled garden strategy, after the fact.

They're setting the stage for a future where everyone gets a trash thin-client that only connects to MS servers; they'll frame it as a "climate-friendly" solution and you'll be a BIPOC-hating bigot if you dare to think about getting a real computer.

The only saving grace is that even the "thin" IoT client is going to be so comically bloated you'll be able to run a FOSS OS

It will definitely come with a locked bootloader, gotta protect
those users from
themselvescia-level attacks.And even if you somehow find an exploit and get it to run unsigned code, it'll definitely not be able to run a modern web browser. Even recent mid-range phones struggle with them.
