Win 12 Canary

So I saw this from a few days ago. Apparently the canary channel for Windows testers may start getting Win 12 bits in it.

I noticed one thing in there that this is line of thinking that this is going to be the first cloud based OS, at least according to the article. And that wouldn't be a new thing with Windows, do have Windows 365 that's a DaaS for small business and enterprise. Even if it's not, I wouldn't be surprised if the apps that most people have locally now would end up being just webview apps. With them being subscription and some have features that have to have a perpetual internet connection anyway for the program(s) to work or at least for all features to work, they might as well be. I would just see this is a natural progression.

First cloud based OS? Like more than ChromeOS is? How can you strip much more out of an OS and imagine it will stay stable with all the zoomtoks and facehubs eating the world's bandwidth?

I would say that at best, it would be a bare bones install of Windows and everything could be moving more to webview apps (at least that's better compared to Electron on resources). Now that's just me speculating. Of course, you have your online account for "convenience" as well. Very much going back to the dummy terminal days. I wasn't much of a fan back in the day, but at least in most instances the server that one was connected to was still relatively local, now not so much.

They've been toying with this idea for 15 years.

Windows 365 has been around 2 yrs this summer. It was only natural that it would hit the end consumers at some point.
