If you'd like a preview of this, visit your local library or some place that has a number of public computers which are frequently used by people with unknown identities, homeless, criminals, etc. My public library, several years ago, implemented a 100% virtual scheme for the public computers. You log in and a freshly wiped and provisioned Windows virtual machine starts up. There is almost nothing in the box on the desk, except you can hook up some USB (with drastic restrictions). Otherwise, it's pretty much graphics and input traffic being exchanged over the network. A modern VT220. When you log out or time out, the VM vanishes and resets itself to pristine state. By contrast, my community college had all sorts of places with academic computers available, and they were bare metal, although they had the same sort of clean-slate wipe when they were rebooted. It was sort of amazing in 2018 how many students still used these machines, even though there was a majority who toted around notebooks. A lot of students only brought a smartphone into class with them, and their eBooks and notes were all on the smartphone. So I perceive a diminishing demand for public and academic computer labs, especially as the pandemic times have convinced so many people to stay home and not congregate in public, and the smartphone is a fully-functioning computer system. So let Microsoft do their worst. I already own one Chromebook and I love it. My next notebook purchase may also be a Chromebook. I'm thinking Framework or Pixelbook.
