I think this will backfire too. I think they way underestimate the amount of people already using "underpowered devices" that will just continue to do so without the new cloud services shit.

Basically everyone I know us using a 5-10+ year old laptop, for example. And they just use it fine, sure it's pokey, and it's not everyone, but it's a lot.
