If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.
Okay wait so is it a thin client like web hosted windows instance or is it like a remote windows server for large processing?
In my experience thin clients are laggy, and lack any ability to do serious real time rendering, they have difficulties updating when lots of information is being sent.
If it was just windows on a server for you use that could be useful but any sort of back and forth data transmission would kill it’s effectiveness unless all the data transmission happened at the end of a processes execution.
This article from April 2022 has some more details. It sounds like Microsoft is planning to implement several different options depending on your use case. This will probably be most commonly used by businesses, not consumers.
