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?

    Yeah, I think $349 is too much. You can get a MiniPC on Amazon for like $250 and that’d include a recent (low-power) CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD. So way more for $100 less, and you don’t even need additional cloud subscriptions.
