    Up next, windows 13 is cloud-based only, thus requiring constant internet connection

      I don’t think this will happen. What they want is for PCs to be like phones, a closed system where you are pretty much locked into installing anything you want on your PC(and thus anything you buy as well) from their exclusive app store. The cloud thing just extra expense for no real benefit to them. However if there’s an opportunity to push one drive you can be sure they will. And MS has been trying to move in this direction since windows 8.

        The “cloud thing” ensures that every person using the system is a subscription-paying customer. You don’t see the benefit in that?
