So… a shittier version of thin clients?

Sounds like something someone blindly mocking Apple would joke about them releasing

This device is marketed toward businesses and enterprise customers, especially as these organizations sometimes replace their computers every two to five years.

These only make sense for companies. Thin clients aren’t new in the slightest. They make even more sense for companies where people might be transitioning between locations frequently. Sit down, log in, and everything you need is there from basically any office computer. Same building or different continent…doesn’t matter.

For a home user…just don’t.

We call these thin clients and terminals, nothing new here. Been around for 40 years… Move along.

No thanks. I’d rather not take a step back so that MS can make more money.

theyve been talkin about this for years now… windows as a service. its no longer an operating system. your ‘computer’ is a dummy terminal

So, a 1980s terminal device. Where you pay rent to use your computer and access your files, and you own literally nothing. Watch the masses flock like sheep to it.

Surely this must be the final straw that broke the camel’s back of Microsoft’s PC dominance.

Flip side: these will 100% be hacked on by homelabbers and used for like a home-wide LCARS system or some shit like that.

Always trying to force the user into a walled garden with more subscriptions.
