Dubbed the "Windows 365 Link," the device is the first of a new class of dedicated 'boot to cloud' PCs, which have little local functionality.

    This is getting closer to the meme about the Javascript-based streamed operating system.

    The only explanation I will now accept for how pointlessly laggy Windows can be is that Microsoft was deliberately increasing the latency to prepare customers for an online-only OS. Curse them.
