Windows 365 for consumers is imminent? So the rumor mill reckons

Never mind Windows 365, I’ve yet to move on to Windows 11. Tried a few times and never liked it.

This seems like a really bad idea. Are there any examples of this that Lemmians are familiar with? Certainly can’t play games on it. Right?

    I feel like the threat to “kill off desktop PCs” has been going for years, yet it has never eventuated. I’m a bit too old and too tired of all the threats/clickbait lately to even start to worry about it actually happening.

    If it does, I’ll find an alternative, but I very highly doubt it will happen anytime soon.

      Yeah I’ve been hearing this for so many years. If it were to affect gaming on Windows, it will definitely not happen. MS would be crazy to kill the stronghold they have on gaming.

      I remember there was a guy in the D development community that liked to block any and all changes to the DLL support, because he convinced himself, that smartphones/tablets will replace desktop PCs, especially Windows. Then he got so annoying on the forums he was thrown out from there, then he left the project. Since then most of the blocked changes are implemented, now it’s even possible to get the D runtime compiled as a DLL file in experimental mode (similar thing is done for ages under Linux with its own version of shared libraries).
