Is this the future of Windows? (lemmynsfw.com)

Recently Microsoft released the link 365 which is basically a thin client for Azure. You can't run anything locally nor is there any local files. It literally just connects you to a desktop elsewhere.

Do you think this is what Windows 12 might look like? I feel like this idea is not practical for average consumers. Maybe they will make something that's like Chrome OS?

There are two questions. Is it cheap, and can it be hacked to run Linux instead?

It has a TPM and restricted boot so probably no Linux

OK, so it is a door stopper. Thanks for the warning.

A 3rd question will be: It the power button on top or covered?
