“SAAS (software as a service) has arrived. I’m not impressed.”
It’s been here since 2015. And it works.
What’s new here is the user interface, which is any browser. And the tacit admission of MS that they cannot control the end device.
Millions will opt for this.
“ Millions will opt for this.”
And???
Millions voted for Joe and the Ho too. Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Or, perhaps better stated, it doesn’t mean it’s a smart choice for many/most.
Why should they control the device? Dell is the device. Lenovo is. Or HP. Or a hundred other vendors. A lot of what people hate about Microsoft is actually the hardware by all these vendors.
The bottom line is, outside of Surface and XBox, Microsoft is a software company—not a hardware one. They’ve always made money through selling software to run on other people’s stuff.
This looks like more of that.
And that is the problem. Enough idiots will fall for this scam and then it will become the industry standard.
