Business's will not adore this. Cloud PCs in M365 or Azure cost money, often as much per year as it would cost to just purchase a pc to begin with.
Read the legislation. It's not just operating systems, its applications as well! All applications, there are no exceptions. Everything from GIMP to the EHR your Doctor uses to a custom Open Claude bot on Github. ALL of them.
You don’t have enough AI-ready GPU cores so Teams is running the local copilot model on the CPU with your most recent outlook emails in order to prepare a dummy to send to the cloud for further analysis

I mean I've already got a Core i7 with 32G of RAM and an NVME sitting on my desk so how much freaking horsepower is THIS little stunt going to take?
It's also happening in areas where education HASN'T been defended or dismantled. It's happening in areas that aren't Republican controlled too.

Used to be a video on YouTube showing the whole process.
Article about the UK, comments immediately start talking about the United States.
Stop it.
Nope, that's a user created account and a user created note. 😊
SMR are for site or temporary power, not grid scale. On paper they're a good fit for data centers and other localized power needs.
What context are you asking for? Seems like Draconic has explained why that account exists and even put in a note explaining.
MSO and EXO have a value proposition that Cloud PC doesn't and Cloud PC at minimum doubles the cost.
