This will penetrate all remaining defences against business spionage

Windows 10 set to become a closed, cloud-based OS.

That means companies' IT-structures get remote-controlled by servers by MS. In the US. Defence is impossible since the penetration takes place by launching the OS already.

Why am I preaching since years against first testing balloons being accepted by a careless consumers? This ^ is why. Its not just privacy and advert targeting anymore. It's about business spionage of so far unknown dimensions.

Profiteer: the place where the servers are. Which is which country...?

Long live linux then....

I don't think Microsoft is so suicidal besides the article is very sketchy.

Can't see it happening...Microsoft would be risking all their eggs in the same basket.

Actually they are trailing behind in this trend. Apple does it like this since long time, imprisoning its customers in the closed and locked appleverse. Android is a closed OS. Amazon's Kindle is closed. Consoles more and more have moved for this way of gaming. Social networks. And of course the googleverse.

Let'S face it, it is the general trend: closed, remote controlled OS.

And their stubborness with W8 and 8.1 demonstrates that they have no intention to give it up.

I don't see it happening. Computers are heavily used in places where there is no reliable internet connection or where there is none at all.

I would disagree with that statement's conclusion. The lucrative market is the developed world, the business places , the economy and industry, the players in the developed countries, consumer households.

The occasional notebook you see in the centre of the Kalahari means nothing.

And you would not believe me in what god-forsaken places I have seen satellite telephones already in the early and mid-90s.
