I hope one OEM finally buckles and starts selling laptops preconfigured to install and run older versions of Office and such in Wine.
OEMs are in a tough spot. crossing Microsoft risks serious blowback or even being cut out of the ecosystem entirely
Absolutely, but this whole Windows 365 thing puts their place in the ecosystem in complete jeopardy. Why would MS need them anymore, they have Azure, the OS, and the AI bullshit. I truly do hope one of the more desperate OEMs takes a chance and tries, though I know it is unlikely.
