Microslop has always dreamed of having a full online OS basically a bloated thin client terminal for all their corporate bullshit.

This is what Bill Gates wanted to achieve in their early thousands, Which is why Internet explorer was baked into Windows explorer.

The goal was always a subscription service for your own data and hardware. It seems that Windows 11 was just a really shitty implementation of that idea. Just like Windows 8 was a shitty implementation of touchscreen based UI that was forced upon everyone.
