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?

$350 gets you a pretty decent PC. That's a ridiculous price for a thin client that requires a subscription to use.

It is pennies for a company or consumer who has never looked a older hardware.
