  • So what's the point of such anonymous account? Waiting for 10 more years till policy is changed by some reason or you finally figure out a way how to get a number that's not tied to your name?

    I am surprised they did not have such periodical purges in the past.

  • Use whatever browser works best for you. It is kind of dumb to stick to something you do not like just because of ideology.

    That said both Firefox and Chromium based browsers have pros and cons, there is no best one. My primary browser at home is Firefox, at work I use Edge, I like both. Some time ago tried to fully move from Firefox to Vivaldi, but went back due to couple things that I preferred on FF.

    Your main problem is probably 6GB physical memory. At least on Windows 10+ I would not be comfortable with less than 16GB. Hope you at least have SSD.

  • Can't imagine it being the case, thin clients have existed for a very long time and Cloud PC is nothing revolutionary just an additional offering from Microsoft.

    Not to mention private consumers will not pay subscription for OS that in long run is a lot more expensive and worse HW that they probably already have.

  • Their primary use is enterprise not private consumers. Think of virtualized OS accessible over internet that you can manage/protect and provide for example to some random consultant. Or just provide more powerful PC on low end HW.

    It's costly though and not sure it ever gained traction because there always were alternatives like Citrix Desktops.

  • Does it automatically back things up, even if you don’t have a Microsoft account or turn it on?

    It's optional as most things in Windows. Also if you do not use MS account where would backup be stored, how would you restore it? :)

    Here are more reputable sources:

    Have not used it myself, but I think most if not all of this was already available through Settings so it's nothing new. LazyAdmin article seems to state the same.

  • Links

    There probably is some shell extension that could add this in context menu. In Windows you use mklink or New-Item commands. Links are not really popular in Windows environment, I would say an absolute majority do not even know about them or never think about them. Shortcuts are the ones that people generally use.

    Shells are made to be used interactively, and PowerShell feels like coding in C#

    I can accept a compromise of slightly more verbose and standardized syntax for interactive use when compared with unix/linux and ability to easily automate pretty much everything you can in Windows / Microsoft ecosystem. I am not a professional coder, but I thoroughly enjoy scripting in PowerShell for work and private tasks.

    Also, new software needs to be added to PATH manually

    True, that's just how Windows programs work. Executables probably will never be available from shell as they can be from Linux without manual tinkering. Start menu is essentially the alternative here. For those couple programs I need to be easily lauched from terminal, adding paths to PATH variable does not seem too much of an problem.
