I assume it is not a full transition to cloud, instead they are adding 'Cloud Computing to Windows' and integrating with system.

Did you read the article tho? No you didn't, windows 365 is already a full windows instance on the cloud but is limited to enterprise users. Now they want to sell it to retail customers as well
Well I agree with Microsoft on one thing, Windows shouldn't be on my hardware.
What if my wifi goes down?
I have 300mb down with a major carrier. (Spectrum)
The service turns to un-useable shit all to often. All online games are out. Streaming services work most of the time, but barley. 5mb down would be great in those times when it slows to a crawl.
Rebooting modems/routers doesn't help, and there are times where it does get to 300mb down so I know the hardware can support it.
Online based Windows would be terrible for me. I'd move to another OS quick
I wish Linux was an option for me, but Adobe software is what has me stuck, and there's no Steam pushing for that to be properly supported... And migrating my Lightroom catalog to another software would be an absolute nightmare.
