I've used Windows since 3.1, but I think this new direction is the beginning of the end for Windows. Combining an OS that relies heavily on remote services, with engineers that don't understand security, is a recipe for disaster. At the drop of a hat your OS can break because some remote service breaks[1], or worse, your system gets compromised because the attack surface has grown to size of a small country. I don't want to be one of the inevitable victims. I'm switching to Linux for my next build.

- lopis 5y agoIt's really wild that Windows is essentially becoming a big web app. I guess they just realized that ChromeOS, not MacOS or Linux, is their main competitor. Whoever wants macos/linux will get it, but schools and offices are systematically turning to ChromeOS for simplicity and that just won't do.
