    Doubt it’ll ever catch on with anything except maybe the largest of orgs. You can just procure office task ready machines so cheaply these days, and Windows 365 is like $45/user/month. Far more than what we pay for windows licensing, user Cals, and office licensing all combined.

    Yep for managing “thin clients” I’d been expecting something like this someday.
