If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.

      I think it’s basically the same idea as Citrix. They’re targeting the same market, anyway, as far as I understand. I assume they each have their own pros and cons.

        I’m not an economist but that seems like a pro for Microsoft and a con for Citrix. Though, seemingly, Microsoft’s approach, naturally, centers around their own devices and OS rather than Citrix’s approach where just about every device/OS has an available application that can be used.

      Its probably in direct competition to citrix.

      For a recent job I had to sign into citrix to open a windows VM to access a corporate network. It was a pain, to be honest.

      MS could have made that much easier if it was just a matter of signing in and getting some form of windows image streamed directly.
