“We take the Personal out of PC”
Fuck that! I want to own my OS.
Even signing in with a MS account to “sync” my PC’s is something I would never choose to do.
protip: when you install windows 10, disconnect the internet. Then it will say you have to create a local account. No MS account bullshit here. You can’t do that on windows 11 though. If you don’t have internet, you cna’t install windows 11. But if you install windows 10 first using this trick, then upgrade to windows 11, you will still have a local account. Or just use linux.
that’ll be a bigger flop than windows me was
man that sucks ass, the only thing that’s making me not mainly use linux at this point is gaming compatibility.
majority of games run just fine on linux/proton, some don’t but only cause devs are stuckup and won’t allow proton in the anti-cheat (destiny, rust, lost ark, to name a few)
Hey, don’t you dare talk shit about Rus… oh that Rust
I feel like this is gonna go as well as cloud gaming did. Working directly on a server is great in an office setting, but at home it’s just stupid and unnecessary.
yea… i think windows 10 will be my last windows. otoh, i’ve been spending more of my time on linux now. subtantially more than windows.
at what point are we customers going to revolt and demand ownership rights over things we pay for? I pay $300 for a copy of some software I don’t own and won’t even install after a certain amount of time? I have to submit to forced updates that break functionality I rely on, but any feedback I give is ignored? I’m not allowed to resell games I’ve finished and no longer want or need in my collection?
I have an expensive computer, but all the processing happens “in the cloud”?
Fuck this.
Eh no thank you.
Well, Microsoft can fuck the fuck off! First of all, you should own things you paid for. And second, they can’t even make Windows Update function reliably. I have no desire to have my OS stop working just because some server isn’t responding. No, thank you.
and if your internet is out or shit, you can’t even use your computer. I’ll pass.
So we are back to the good old UNIX days when all we own were terminals and actual computers were mainframes online? /s

Any idea of how this will sit with government organizations and colleges/universities?
I believe in Canada most (if not all) provinces and even post secondary institutions have data policies that don’t allow most cloud services since they can’t guarantee data isn’t being stored or processed in a data center outside it’s borders.
There are some exceptions for the use of OneDrive, but we are prohibited from storing any sensitive data there. Other cloud based apps are hosted on a proprietary instance, but I’m not sure if this option will be available in this case.
I’ll pass, I like owning my own PC
