Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS
SatyrSack@quokk.au 4 days agoI can imagine something similar to this concept would be great for enterprise environments. I imagine an employee at home using a basic thin client and connecting to a “mainframe” of a server that exists on premises and is running an individual VM or whatever for each employee’s thin client. Which I think is basically already a thing. But for a home PC, with that VM being run the OS manufacturer’s servers? No, I don’t think anybody should want to pay for that.

This isn’t uncommon, even I have that option at work. None of this is new tech.
It’s just a long existing tech now used to close down on freedom & paywall all the things.
