Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud

If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.

  • That sounds like a very dumb move for the consumer market. Who would be the target audience for this? Gamers would hate that because of increased input lack. My mom wouldn't understand that she her PC wouldn't work without internet.

    The only client for something like this would be enterprises so that they can buy cheap thin clients and have more control over compliance things.
