“You will own nothing, and you will like it.”
Feel like this may be missing needed context.
For example, if I say, “man, I’m going to take a huge bite out of that thing!” it’s a different conversation if I’m looking at a big sandwich versus looking at a newborn baby.
So… Anything else you might want to share about your specific statement or its focus?
I guess that means more people switching to linux, assuming they eventually 100% phase out non-cloud. Not even because “cloud bad” - there will be some of that, but because of the sheer number of people who don’t pay for windows, not paying for it isn’t an option if they control it completely.
Yup, that’d also be the case for people like me who stick with Windows for gaming compatibility/convenience reasons and critical GPU features the Linux drivers just don’t implement (looking at you, DLDSR). That, or just anyone with a GPU, I suppose, assuming the hardware market would look remotely like it does nowadays by then.
Will this actually be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, or will everyone just continue to say “but I can only do this on a PC” and not even attempt to look at Linux or MacOS as an alternative.
My moneys on the latter. People have been complaining about anti-consumer practices from Microsoft since Windows 7, but it always ends the same way. Microsoft has most of the world by the balls and they know they can squeeze tighter and tighter and not lose 99% of their customers.
More reasons to switch to Linux and stay there.
Once you’re logged into Windows 365 you’re technically using their hardware and just streaming the use to your machine. You will have almost no control over your own device because it isn’t actually your own device. Your own device has been turned into a television, a device that just plays what another device is displaying.
This is about property and ownership and how Microsoft wants to take those things away from you. They want full control of how you use their operating system, and when they force users to use their software and hardware, they will acheive it.
Not really surprising, it is what they earn on
Okay but what happens if you don’t have a good net connection like at the coffee shop or airports? I swear sometimes people are clueless and just assume you always have good internet when that’s not often the case!
