Did you know Windows10 LTSC exists? It's mainly free of any telemetry and you can tweak it fully, and even remove Edge by force if you need to ( though I believe you can also force remove Edge in the normal versions). Been much happier with the version.

Ugh, rent seeking. Typical
Excel and Word in the cloud really suck, so let's do the whole operating system. Sure, why not?
Cool so not only do you need to power your local device you also need to power servers and eat up loads of internet bandwidth. Super efficient.
All so they can force you to pay a monthly subscription.... Thank Gaben Valve is investing so much in Linux gaming.
Doesn't Microsoft have the worst availability around for their cloud stuff? Or is IBM still giving them a run for their money?
Lots of people missing the point here.
What if you had a tablet device that could go weeks without charging? It could handle basic tasks on its own, or more intensive tasks when connected to the internet?
Office 365 is a good example. Basic tasks of word can be handled by a cached web client, but if you need to do something more advanced and need the full version of word to run, the ARM architecture can’t run it so spin up a virtual instance and stream it to your arm device.
Windows 11 will have this baked in. It’s not a forced replacement of a local OS.

Microsoft has recently announced Windows Copilot, an AI-powered assistant for Windows 11. Windows Copilot sits at the side of Windows 11, and can summarize content you’re viewing in apps, rewrite it, or even explain it. Microsoft is currently testing this internally and promised to release it to testers in June before rolling it out more broadly to Windows 11 users.
Omg... The return of Clippy
"You will own nothing and you will love it" jesus. All in on OpenAI and automation.
That’s a big nope for me.
Internet goes out? I can still do some amount of work, now I need power and internet to both work to do any work at all.
Not a fan of this and I will not embrace it.
