Something similar to this concept is great for enterprise environments. Imagine an employee at home using a basic thin client that just connects to a "mainframe" of a server that exists on premises and is running an individual VM or whatever for each employee's thin client. That is already a widespread concept. But for a home PC, with that VM being run on the OS manufacturer's servers? No, I don't think anybody should want to pay for that.
You just described Citrix whole business model
God. I can't believe it. I've lived long enough to see the return of the dumb terminal. FFS.
Lots of MSPs have already been doing / selling this exact thing for years.
This isn't uncommon, even I have that option at work. None of this is new tech.
It's just a long existing tech now used to close down on freedom & paywall all the things.
