Can't wait for them to release the surface 365.

with the cost of an annual subscription, one can build a powerful rig, and set it up to access over internet and also game, CAD renders and all....

That 2.4 fps looks so smooth

Man i wish my Ram-storage ratio was this good, i have 8 gigs of ram and 512 gigs of storage, while the top tier cloud PC has 32 gigs of ram with the same storage

I feel so stupid as someone who used computers for over 15 years, wow.

If microsoft bundled this with a training platform lād probably consider it

9:27 Is it really Frames Per Second at that point or is it Seconds Per Frame š
@sugar2000galaxy
I have a theory that when internet becomes super reliable, cloud pc will be the norm. It benefits companies since they would be able to see whatever you do, which means data for them and also crack down on suspicious software or behaviour

For businesses that need to worry about hardware costs and security, this is a great deal. We would have sales people who "need" a portable tablet that costs $1500 only to leave the company 3 months later. Instead of buying a tablet that will just sit around becoming obsolete, we can buy them a cheap Chromebook and manage this remotely. If the employee leaves, we decommission the license and re-issue the hardware to nearly anyone and save a pretty good chunk of the cost. With the Enterprise tier, we can also use the device management to help secure it. It's extremely painful to properly secure an on-prem PC for remote workers these days when all of your resources are on-prem. The stuff people click on and fall for is insane...

This still seems to still be in infancy compared to the existing Amazon AWS or even their own Azure options. I'll go there for now if I need a remote desktop for work or gaming.

I love the Microsoft basic display adapter the beauty of core clock: 0 MHz + memory clock: 0 MHz + 0 MB of VRAM
@3120s
12:31 Yes a cloud PC will allow the company to buy cheap laptops with just the browser on (Chromebook) and not to worry to have to spend much on hardware when all they need is good connectivity and good software.
@edtheoldtechguy
So thin client just expensive? Didn't Windows try something like this in the past and it failed?
@addLDN
the point of the basic vm is for data compliance where users need to keep work documents secure and not on their personal machines.
@dynad00d15
ooooohhh what a novel concept! a computer that access a central server for apps and data. Wow! dual core, 4 gigs ram 128 gigs HDD? Now thats a freaking upgrade! are we going back to terminals? what else Microsoft will sell? Access to a mainframe? ugh..

When you go to the Taskmanager and click on the storage you are able to see if it's a Harddrive or not

1) As a student at university, it was quite helpful to remotely connect to a machine from both home and university and work on the same files. And when hopping public computer terminals at the university, there was no need to get to the same machine every time since your files are on the virtual machine anway. Probably not so much if you take your PC with you or your home PC is running while you are at university. (It was around 2001 and they had AIX machines connected via X forwarding via SSH, so no modern HTML5 RDP client...). 2) Maybe when you are doing stuff with big files in the cloud (e.g. move them from one cloud provider to another one) it may be useful to have a machine with really fast Internet connection and not the typical 2Mbit/s or less of upstream you have at home. But that would be only useful if you can have the machine for a shorter time than a month (you won't need it all the time), so probably fire one up on Azure or AWS is the better idea for that.
@HFkepley9312
perfect use for people that are constantly dealing with those scams that try to take over your computer where you want a virtual machine but don't want to store it on your physical system
