This was to be expected... But eventually.. Microsoft will force people to the cloud.. I just feel it.. it's happening..
I'm absolutely with you. Boiling frog and all. 10 years ago nobody would have believed that you'd require an online account to log into your local machine.
As soon as it's viable from a business point of view (as in people will swallow it), it will be cloud only.
But what does Microsoft gain by that?
Subscription fees instead of single-buy licenses are generally more profitable after 1-2 years. This whole cloud crap is a pure vendors' market.
Also, telemetry isn't required anymore when users just use cloud services. That's what made Google and Facebook big after all.
