Recently Microsoft released the link 365 which is basically a thin client for Azure. You can't run anything locally nor is there any local files. It literally just connects you to a desktop elsewhere.
Do you think this is what Windows 12 might look like? I feel like this idea is not practical for average consumers. Maybe they will make something that's like Chrome OS?
This product is not for you, individual consumer. This is for corporations who don't want the overhead of managing individual PCs and everything that can go wrong with them, instead relying on virtual workspaces and roaming user profiles.
Microsoft is increasing pushing companies to Azure as that's where they can make bank. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the Microsoft norm.
Also I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a consumer version if this in the works.
