if the rumors are true & microsoft is planning to make windows 365 the de-facto way to purchase windows in the future like with office, it’ll be the dumbest move they’ve ever made & proof some new leadership is probably needed at some level. individual apps are one thing but no one wants something as critical & expansive as the os to just be a glorified rdp session, nor do they want it to be dependant on a subscription. i’ve told some of my non techie friends about this (all lifelong windows users) & they all said it’d be the one thing that makes them go to something else.
