Even when it's pure speculation in an opinion piece about something that will never affect anyone on here?Anything "it will be automatically ________ for you by Microsoft" makes me cringe.
Lmao... I'm sure he wont be seen around these parts for a while.OP (tried to?) mislead people and induce fake rage, got exposed and has fled the thread
Just in general. My work is almost 100% Microsoft products and services related and it's so often that when Microsoft think they know 'whats best for you' it leads to a headache.Even when it's pure speculation in an opinion piece about something that will never affect anyone on here?

The topic is about enterprise services for corporate workstations. It has nothing to do with a home user. It would be like coming into a thread about a Nvidia Tesla and complaining about how Nvidia sucks because it is designing cards for ML and that's not what you personally want.
.
But it's a lie! Windows is a lying OS made by lying liars.I would argue that Delete putting it in the recycle bin for full deletion, allowing you to get it back if you need it or accidentally deleted it, is far more user-friendly than the nuclear option of it being gone forever straight away.
What a weird statement. It's possible now. It's been possible for years. With the success of Office365 and the downfall of Windows the only question is why they haven't done it earlier. And yes, it absolutely will be a thing on consumer PCs.
For their mental health they should probably administrate something else than - I often have frustration with Microsoft (especially lately with their patching being on fire) but i don't hate their systems - would make my job very unhappyYou make that sound unlikely or unusual. I know two people who have been sysadmins professionally for around 10 years and primarily administrate Windows computers. Both hate tons of Microsoft processes and systems.
Injections about ownership in software are not at all bizarre in any Saas thread.
The title, even after the update, is completely fake. Discarding the ridiculous assumptions that this affects gamers or end users in general, Enterprise users wont be "forced" to nothing. This is for a very specific, already existing type of corporate users that use thin clients like Citrix. And I can tell you, as a former Citrix user, this is nothing but great news. Citrix is the worst thing that can happen to you in a corporation, specially if you live far from US and you cannot even type a character in notepad without noticeable input lag.
This thread was fun and predictable.
Yeah this is meant for enterprises. MS is not taking away your operating system like that in the age of iOS/Android.
What an odd comment. MS could never get people to move to a subscription based Windows today, plus current versions of Windows already have dedicated support for many more years (by MS), hence my informed opinion.
But it does suck that some day this could potentially become a thing on home PCs.
So, NO, it isn't possible today. Can you imagine if MS rolled out a subscription based OS when users got a supported non-sub alternative until 2025 minimum (Windows 10)?
Depends solely on how they do it. If every new PC instead of an OEM copy of Win 10 comes with 12 months sub to Windows there really is not much choice. And then roll out new features to the sub first. If I could get a Windows sub for say $50 a year and have a current version for all our four Windows PCs and laptops in the household, I would probably jump in. Bundle it with Office365 for $100 a year and I am there day 1. Saving money while always having the newest version is great.
I don't know, I think there's plenty of users that would benefit from a device being kept clean and up to date.Basically.
People are reading this completely wrong. This isn't a true DaaS at all, which is VDI or Virtual Desktop Interface. This would still keep your OS on your PC. You just won't have much control over it. So for those in the enterprise market (like me) I don't have to worry about using SCUM or another software utility to push updates or yell at people to do their damned OS patching. It is handled for you. CW has this article completely off the wall and is causing panic for zero reasons. As an enterprise pitch/solution, this is great.
For home markets, MS should know this would never fly. Or at least, I hope they do.
I was banned for saying Microsoft annoucing agressive investment in gaming was bad.
I must be absolutely crazy.
