The massive drop in storage costs and increase in availability/speed of networking has changed the balance for ever.

An online identity which can just run on every "Boot From Windows 365" device, will suit normal users far more. Your desktop shouldn't be tied to your PC, most people don't need the level of fine tuning to make them dependent on the underlying hardware. Microsoft should provide incremental backup with the subscription while they are at it.

Yeah, lots of companies use thin clients, there are many reasons people might want to do this. If you need more horsepower, you can pay a few more dollars for that day or month. People can work from home in a secured environment without shipping them a new PC. etc.

I won't use this, but, no reason to shit all over it.

I'm honestly getting sick of Microsoft's nonsense.

For those who have followed some of my posts over the years, I don't hide the fact that my personal and most of my professional life centered around MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. However Linux has been my daily driver at home for close to 10 years now. I simply refuse to use Windows 10 (and that's after giving it a red hot go at work for years and trying my hardest to like it).

Windows 11 really isn't much better. It's just a different kind of crap.

Microsoft really need to get their act together. For anyone who has administered an Office 365/Microsoft 365 tenancy will know just how much of a dogs breakfast it is. Nothing is in a logical place, dashboards are duplicated, a lot of the old legacy O365 stuff still hasn't migrated over to M365 yet, their documentation is garbage.

I'm just about to kick off a technology replacement program at work, to replace our ageing SOE and end-user equipment. I'm actually considering Apple computers as a strong contender for our employees. That says a lot. Then there is the question of what we're going to do with our air-gapped lab that handles secret/top secret information... I honestly don't have answers yet.

I went to edit my previous post and decided the word probably describes more accurately what I was thinking.
histricly although it may look like a typo at first glance, it conveys both the meaning of hysterically and/or historically.
And if I was forced to pick one, I would go with hysterically!

What 'ya need to do is find someone with the MS Certification blinders on, that will focus on re-arranging everything according to "best-practices-like-it-or-not-users-be-damned"  and then everything will run smoothly!!!
