Did nobody read the article? Nowhere does it say they would make Windows cloud-only. They're talking about renting out virtual machines.
Doesn't sound like it. Some people even admitted that straight up.
I don't see anywhere they are saying that they are getting rid of installed Windows, just providing a different avenue of Windows usage, something to compete with the ChromeOS type of uasge.
Sounds like I’m back on reddit
Step 1: renting out virtual machines.
Step 2: renting out all machines.
Don't be fooled.
Sure, it's just another product they're not going to push on anybody. Like Windows 10! They're such a nice huge-corporation and always have been; why do people assume they'll do anything... distasteful?
I didn't realize software companies pushing people to the newest version of their products was a controversial issue.
Since this article isn't about the next version of Windows I'm also confused why you think what you said is relevant.
