- Windows 365 has rolled out
- It lets you rent a Cloud PC that runs in Microsoft's data centers
- You access the virtual, remote-hosted Windows PC from devices ranging from LG Smart TVs to iPads to a laptop or desktop PC browser
- The screen/desktop of the cloud Windows PC is streamed to your device screen
- All of your apps and data are stored on Microsoft's servers
This is useful for some companies who don't want to spend lots of money buying and maintaining expensive PCs for hundreds of employees.
But this is Bill Gates we are talking about.
He likely sees this as a stepping stone to eventually FORCING everyone to use Windows IN THE CLOUD ONLY in the future.
A few years from now Microsoft may tell you that you can ONLY CONTINUE TO USE WINDOWS ON THEIR REMOTE-HOSTED VIRTUAL PCs.
And you can only RENT those remote PCs - you CANNOT ACTUALLY OWN ONE.
I believe STARLINK may be a PART of this - what ELSE needs THOUSANDS OF COMSATS in Earth orbit???
