Microsoft might just be planning to make the next generation of Windows a cloud-based, subscription service. While we have already had evidence of the former, fresh new leak hints at the latter too.

    The most relevant part of the article, for me, isn’t that it might become subscription-based (keep paying to use it), but that it would be mostly stored and run from someone else’s computer (“the cloud”).

      Yea, not a chance in hell I’d be ok with that.

        Neither I would. I’d expect it to be a nightmare on security, privacy, access (offline = shit breaks), and performance. It doesn’t really benefit the end user, as software should.

      Why stop at selling everyone a computer, when you can sell everyone another computer in the cloud for their computer. XzibitIHearYouLikeComputers.gif
