I wonder about that. I'm probably not thinking of some very important things. Edge, Office, Active Directory, Co-Pilot, a Windows DE, userland programs(could even be GNU+Windows, don't want to forget notepad and minesweeper), Powershell, DirectX and SDKs. I think they could do it in a year or two. I just figure, if they could improve Windows in the cloud, they would have done it. And they've already got a massive head start with Azure Linux.

Right? They can still have their closed ecosystem and get their monthly check from your bank, but they could get out of the operating system business. I bet that is an expensive one with low revenue
