Comment on The Windows 11 problem

  Yes, that’s reporting on the “leak” from Neowin, which Neowin later redacted because there wasn’t actually enough evidence: neowin.net/…/microsoft-might-want-to-be-making-wi…

  Windows 365 is a cloud streaming PC that isn’t even available to consumers yet.

    I had not seen that newer Neowin article, thank you for the correction.

    But Windows 365 is certainly available to business and enterprise users right now. When they roll it out to home users is a separate matter. I would add that home users are not usually thin client users, lol: even Chromebooks have a limited OS on them.

      Yes, Microsoft had an internal presentation with poorly-worded language that said Windows will “move” to the cloud, the whole presentation slide makes it clear they’re talking about Windows in the cloud as an option: theverge.com/…/microsoft-windows-11-cloud-consume…

      Forcing everyone to stream Windows from a cloud server would not work well for the vast majority of PCs and internet connections. Microsoft isn’t dumb, they’re not going to try that and lose even more market share to Apple.

        Appreciate the clarification, thank you for taking the time.
