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.

    How might it be different from something like Citrix? Just an official way to do it? Maybe some integration with hosting?

      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.

      Its probably different in that money goes to Microsoft instead of Citrix.

        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.
