So they’re going to try to get everyone to buy new hardware when there is a shortage of ram and storage and they are ridiculously overpriced.

The timing of this couldn’t be worse.

It’s probably apart of their internal strategy.

“Look, the consumer doesn’t want to buy hardware anymore… so let’s make Windows a cloud OS only! Subscription model and all! They’ll love that!”

Foreshadowing: we will hate it and either buy Macs or use Linux.
