From what I understand it’s negligible for some businesses, especially if said business owns Azure, a global cloud infrastructure platform that has servers everywhere. Not to mention that some things would probably still be done on hardware side, that the “OS” would probably be like a weird form of “always connected” shell that reacts upon the instructions sent from the cloud… it’s not like they think they can serve RDP to anyone with a desktop.
Most likely “Windows” will be like the client side part of the cloud operating system, reacting to API calls and such and applications would still be installed, but require certain conditions.
What I think is that they’re basically making a go for it again, to get their own little walled garden up and running, but this time with a cloudy twist. They’ve wanted to beat Apple at their own game so badly and for so long. Like “look at me I have enterprise and consumer space in the bag - wahoo!”
