 Internal memo from MS: "Move Windows 11 increasingly to the Cloud: 365 to enable a full Windows operating system streamed from the cloud to any device. Use the power of the cloud and client to enable improved Al-powered services and full roaming of people’s digital experience". 6 comments
 No offense, but there is also no mention of "thin clients" or this whole strategy you attribute it to. If you have more context, maybe more pages from that memo that gives more context, please share.  @Bro666 Windows 365 already exists, it's just only for companies right now that need to sometimes run Windows software on non-Windows devices: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365 "Move" is a weird word in that presentation slide, but that's getting into semantics. It's pretty clear they mean that cloud Windows should be an option for consumers, not that Windows will somehow only be a cloud thing. Here's the thing: all we know is what it says... Again, unless you have some internal insight and can back it up with evidence, that is. @Bro666 My evidence is reading comprehension. There is no feasible way to move millions or billions of PCs to a streaming solution for all computing tasks with the technology we have today, so the next likely explanation for poor wording in an internal document is that cloud streaming is an option for people who want it, which is a far lower amount of people. But it goes both ways, doesn't it? You inferred one thing. The author of the headline inferred something different. Both of you are approaching this from different hypothetical contexts, as you lack the real one. Thus you reach different interpretations of what this memo means. My point is you cannot say for sure the headline is wrong. |

@kde Right, they want a thin client version of Windows as an option for consumers instead of just enterprise customers. No one said "fully move" except Verge.
