Windows 365 (enterprise) is actually really nice. I started using it to manage an org transition @ work, but I am thinking I might also set up a personal instance at this point. The dream is to throw away 100% of my desktops and run with just a MacBook and a decent external monitor. I don't have the patience to manage hardcore/gamer hardware anymore.

  As a contractor, Windows 365 is incredible. Give me it any day over VPNs, Citrix, VMware, etc.

An optimistic view is that maybe the future of Windows is users moving over to Linux.
