Sounds to me like another step towards MSFT offering “Windows as a Service.”
dayglored, you’re right, MSFT seems to be thrashing around, looking for the next money maker. Do they even have a business plan?
We use Windows because our business apps are windows based. But we use an OLD version of Office, etc. none of this ‘Cloud-based’ crap.
Their business plan is:
whatever we sell, we sell as a service now rather than a product.
