A post where I go over why I’m not a fan of the planned OS Windows 365 (an all cloud version of Windows), and why I’m not a fan of the existing push towards everything in the cloud, which I compare to each other.
It’s a new blog so feedback would be much appreciated, either on my writing style, any missed grammatical errors, or the website design/layout (I’m new to Hugo but luckily themes do the heavy lifting).
Microsoft isn’t going to force anyone to use the cloud desktop. It’s a product for businesses, and it’s probably going to be great, by lowering the cost and removing need to host and manage onpremise servers. The users won’t need to use a VPN or go through a RDS gateway that looks like it belongs in the year 2004. All they would need to do is login to their pc or the office-portal to reach the remote desktop. Remote desktops/applications are great, because a lot of users are not good with saving files/documents to a central storage, and you remove the risk that the hardware is going to fail and files be lost.
Sorry I’m a bit late to reply, I don’t disagree, virtual desktops are great in a business setting. Microsoft already offers that for businesses, but the proposed product in the works I was talking about was for regular consumers. I doubt that they’ll force it anytime soon in the sense that they’d quit offering local versions of Windows, but I still didn’t wanna pass up a chance to complain about it :)
