Enclosures really worked well the first time, boy how.
I don't understand, we had this in the 90's and it didn't work then. No company or user wanted their whole desktop to be offsite.
It's not about what the user wants. It's about what will make the most profit for Microsoft

The article speaks of a "Windows 365 suite of productivity apps" but that doesn't exist.
There is the "Microsoft 365" suite of office apps, and there is the "Windows 365" offer of a Virtual Machine as SaaS.
It seems the thing that went down was the former and the ill timed announcement concerned the latter.
This is why all internet connected devices all the time is bad. It only leads to this. Should be focusing on how to do things offline as much as possible.
I wouldn't mind if the whole company just crashes and burns. I can't think of anything worthwhile they released in recent years. All they have done is make every consumer product worse. Windows, Office, Xbox... all shit now.

I wouldn't trade general purpose computing for general islop
Much more like a stream of shit.
Glad I uninstalled 365 and got Office 2024 instead, less than $20 and I don't have to deal with this bullshit.
You could have got Collabora for free?
I prefer to use Windows 10 and Linux. What about using old versions of Microsoft Office?
