Gearing up for this product https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/link

Holy word salad, Batman.

“We needed a purpose-built device on the shop floor that could fit for our new, collaborative approach. Windows 365 Link devices were exactly the solution we envisioned to enable our workers to access their assets in the cloud.”

People fucking laughed at me when I said this was coming.

WAAAAYLP, here we are

If the mother country wasn't going full on Nazi, as someone who wouldn't install Windows on anything in my household, I would unironically have used that to test cross-platform-compatibility of my software. Although last time I was looking for renting a VM only for a week or two.

But fuck this, I will no longer care about Windows compatibility.

Please correct me if needed, but why? This is the epitome of anti-cross platform.

It's as close to negative platform as you could possibly get.

I have honestly no idea what you mean by "anti-cross platform" or "negative platform".

I mean that it's a box that you can't change anything on, it's basically just a thin client that connects you to locked down windows on a server somewhere

If I can't install cygwin, a C++ compiler and an editor of choice, then it is useless. But I was assuming (probably too naive) this would be possible.

To be fair you may be able to on the early iterations until it takes over the enterprise space, and the personal space, and when they've got it all, they lock it the fuck down.

This is obviously speculation, but I think it's a pretty informed guess.

Yeah you are probably right. Being able to install (or even execute) your own software would expose all those sweet security loopholes in their network to a talented hacker.

Looking at the reviews about assets being accessible...yes sir, that is what business based vpns are for.

[–] pricklypearbear@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this online only? That sounds like a very bad time.

Minimal OS thin client, everything will be online/cloud storage
