Oh no, Microsoft made an official thin client.

I feel bad for all of the world's employees who are going to get their real PCs taken away by the IT department and replaced with a shitty streaming box which connects to some garbage Windows 365 instance with 4GB of RAM.

@quad@akko.quad.moe Microsoft innovating incredible "new" ways to make computers worse, it's quite impressive really.

I work in IT, my default stance is that we "should stop buying Microsoft products" but sadly I don't make the decisions ​:blobcatpensive:​

@Baa god it's awful how my company insists on buying microsoft-everything if it's available. and there's lots of companies doing the same.

so many stupid tasks done with a full windows machine with 8GB of ram when it could've been done with the crappiest equipment available no problem.

dns server?

web server?

IIS and 16GB of RAM

It's absolutely insane some times.

And don't even get me started on all the random crap they're tricked into paying for in Azure
