Just another case of "you will own nothing...". Come on over to Linux, where the ISOs are plentiful.
This seems odd to me, I've dabbled with Linux before but I'm generally a macos guy where the os is the free bit. Charging for an os is outdated surely?

I switched to Linux a long time ago, it's only getting better and better. After valve started making serious investments in the ecosystem it has only gotten better for desktop usage and it simply 'works' in ways that even windows struggles with, ie: ps4 controllers/switch controllers work ootb, gamescope allows significantly more control over how games are rendered and offers a true console-like experience combined with big picture UI.
Yeah, stuff like this is why I just recently changed back to mac a week ago (after years of hating them). For gaming I swapped my Xbox X to PS5 too at the same time (the Xbox X can't even remote play in windows because I just get a black screen, which is embarressing for them).
Got sick of Edge hijacking my Chrome tabs randomly too. Things are getting worse in windows, not better
I haven't run Linux in ages (2012 maybe?) But I'm about ready to give it another look. I use windows on my machine less and less frequently, and it seems like it's never been easier to switch to something less "taking all the control away from the user" focused.
I've been using Linux at home for ages (20-25 years ) and haven't missed the "Windows experience" one bit.
Did nobody read the article? Nowhere does it say they would make Windows cloud-only. They're talking about renting out virtual machines.

Doesn't sound like it. Some people even admitted that straight up.
I don't see anywhere they are saying that they are getting rid of installed Windows, just providing a different avenue of Windows usage, something to compete with the ChromeOS type of uasge.

I suddenly feel an urge to install Arch
It's going to be a very interesting day when someone misconfigures a dns router or something and half the world goes down.
