    As someone who is working as an Azure and M365 admin for a living… yeah, nah, Microsoft. Nah.

    I am glad I already made the jump to Linux at home, and frankly, I think Microsoft would be a fool if they pulled through with this.

    I bet they’d revert the decision of making Windows cloud-only within a year.

      On other hand, I kind of want Microsoft and Apple to force it through, charge $60/mo and lose all of their users within a few days and see Linux population exploded. Ah one can dream…

        Why would Apple follow? They sell hardware, they want you to buy the physical device. If anything Apple has been pushing on-device compute more than anyone else these few years.
