Even if your ISP don't provide them? Laughing, and even if the miraculous were true, lol, I'll stick with my mighty slow connection, rather than sign in with any MS account thanks Smile

No wonder they gave Win10 a quick lick of paint.

@dethy
Yea I know a lot of companies that would love this.
75% of the ones I work with now are phasing out onsite servers for AWS solutions. This is just an end user employee solution of the same concept.

Less hardware to maintain, less hardware to buy/update. Sort of like a workstation user setup without needing to buy equal hardware PC's to actually run it at each station endpoint.
Bob that does back end management and sandbox testing needs to login? Any dummy terminal he can access now 'has' his 16 core 64 gig ram setup on it. (so to speak).

Windows DaaS has been a thing a lot of them wish was a thing. Spending $500+ for each of 100's of end user computers each year is more expensive than a DaaS solution.

Hell my company might get into it for on site work.
Buy a $3000 laptop for me to lug around to sites every 2 years, vs get there and go "Give me any PC with an internet connection" and I have my work tools and a machine equal to my 24 core 48gig laptop with all my VM's, work tools, and such at my fingertips.

Does any of us home users have a use for it? No. But I do not think we are the target market either.

Yes..why would the remote desktop connection speed have anything to do with yours? That's like saying remote desktoping into a server, its own internet download speeds is based on yours you remoted in with.

Of the ones I know that are with servers already (other than legacy systems the rest moved/moving by end of year to AWS), and will with end employee stations goto this or AVD:

Wall Street Journal, New York Times, The Daily Mail, The Guardian, Bild, LA times.
They are all pretty serious companies.

I'm choking already on that cloud of shit.

Who gives a rats ass about 'enterprise tech'? We all just want a decent OS, that is modern for the time it's in, without bullshit side-lines for businesses?

MS are well committed to businesses though, as they are more important than any anything else, as that is where they get their revenue, so all else can go to fuck Wink

The guys that pay my paycheck, so by extension me. More savings to them, more money to us.
Not paying $3000 a year for my laptop will be $3000 a year more bonus I will get.

OH and literally every tech based business in the world thats not a family ran one? They care. You know the meat and potatoes of OS and hardware income (we home users are not the top income bracket in the PC world).

Is it trickling down already?

Lucky I guess? My company actually cares about us Very Happy

For this, my boss already told everyone they are looking into AVD and this when more details comes out for when we need to travel since we dont travel as much as we did 5-10 years ago (remote server work is WAY easier now-a-days), so we can get the money instead of a laptop (our choice on which), as its been they give bonuses and laptops at the same time; and we get to keep the old ones when we get a new one. HE dont want a closet full of a dozen of old laptops from us all.

How my kids get laptops Razz My son has my old i7/1070/32gb laptop. Since I travel sometimes, boss foots the bill for one with a decent vidcard since he knows I game a lot and will want to when out of town in the hotel. I go pick which one I want, and they ship it to me, long as I dont go STUPID crazy on price like 4-5 grand or something.

I rather have the money, as I got 3 decent [for their time] laptops already (counting the one my son has). and if I want one when I go out of town I can just buy one every couple years with some of that money. And how its been lately I have not travelled in 2 years, can remote from home to everyone's servers on AWS or thier VPN..so I just get free laptops I dont 'need' INCASE they need me to. So yea..I'm taking the cash..LOL

It all comes down to price. I'm hearing it's around $30/mo per user, but it depends on configuration I guess. Large organizations have already tested this for some time and they're on board.

I actually wouldn't mind this for my work. Instead of carrying a laptop with me everywhere, I could just have my iPad and remote access my work via the cloud.

@dethy You can do that simply by having a VPN access to your home (with a NAS, f.e.) and using Windows remote on iPad. It works ok.

they key keyboards with trackpads for the iPad. These work great.

Right now we're using citrix to launch virtual desktop when needed, it works "OK" for the most part. However, it is very limited so I do have to carry my laptop around when I'm on-call.

We tried that too. Also VM workstations, and ESXi with remote access to individually assigned machines. Wasn't quite up to what we needed. It worked, but was cumbersome and problematic in specific situations.

Imagine using 16 different screens at the same time by using Citrix. What a mess that would be. Smile

So like thin clients 15-20 years ago, except this service model guarantee's no circumventing monthly payments. One thing is for sure, that all vendors are phasing out on-premises software in favour of SaaS models, but gonna put a lot of people (most of them lazy as fuck) out of work.
