I don't think Microsoft are concerned about the infrastructure costs (if they did, they probably would allow people to have local windows users). What they want is to control the ecosystem, and they are bothered about others looking to use their supposedly open source software independently from them.
- TiredOfLife 2y agoThe relevant plugins were never open source Also you can make as much local windows users as you want (in theory up to about 1,073,741,823 practically about 16 thousand).
- falcor84 2y agoMaybe I can make them after I sign in, but Microsoft have made it extremely difficult to set up a new Windows installation with only a local user. As for the non-open-source plugins, maybe I'm too jaded, but I can't help but see it as step 2 in Embrace,Extend, Extinguish.
