    Don’t worry! Eventually, they will find a “cure,” such as Windows moving to a cloud-only model where your PC becomes a glorified dumb terminal!

    So like Windows 365, but for consumers.

      That’s probably not the worst option for most consumers. People are horrible about keeping their shit updated.

      Most people only use their computers for web browsing anyways, and many people buy systems that are way more powerful than what they actually need. I’ve had to talk a ton of people out of buying i7 laptops just for Office and the internet.

      I’ve built and maintained Citrix VDI environments for a global company, and once people get over the “this is new” hurdle, they love it.
