You may have heard of Microsoft’s new “Windows 365 Link” product
<
https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/19/24299789/microsoft-windows-365-link-device-cloud-pc>.
This is running a dumbed-down version of Windows (I know, I repeat
myself), which is only good for streaming actual apps served from the
cloud.
If you’re going to come out with a product which is smaller, cheaper,
more secure, more power-efficient ... wouldn’t it make sense to build
that around an ARM chipset? Wouldn’t that prove that Windows-on-ARM is
ready for primetime, as some keep trying to claim? But no, it
continues to use an x86 chipset. Not forward-looking at all.
