KapedMost popular 'real' desktop will soon be the Linux desktop [Opinion]
carly™Do…do people really think Microsoft is stupid enough to kill off non-cloud based Windows? There are a lot of Windows users who, for either performance reasons, lack of reliable internet, etc. who would never get good use out of a cloud version. Microsoft is more than aware of this and there is no way in hell they’d shoot themselves in the foot like this.
Yeah…MS understands they still have a huge market in developing countries and moving everything to cloud would be suicide.

most people in developing countries can't afford ms. they might only have it since its preinstalled on their pc oem version. the only place you might see paid for Windows is in corporate settings.
now if the cost to use Windows goes up ofcourse you will see less adoption cause people won't buy expensive machine unless the need to
