In an internal presentation titled “state of the business” on June 22, Microsoft discussed their intention to move Windows to the cloud on the commercial side with Windows 365. Additionally, they aim to bring the same functionality to consumers, enabling a full Windows operating system streamed from the cloud to any device.
It’s worth noting that the full version of Microsoft 365 is already available on the cloud for commercial customers. However, Windows 11 is already seeing a deep integration of the service with the latest OS.
Cloud-based Windows would allow users to ‘stream’ the Windows OS from anywhere on any machine, eliminating the need to install a local copy on their PCs. This has the potential to reduce instances of freezing and ‘corrupted’ Windows in certain scenarios.
OS innovation and custom silicon
Microsoft is also looking to introduce new OS innovations to increase the popularity of the Windows operating system. In a separate slide, the company acknowledges the need to strengthen the commercial value of Windows and respond to the threat posed by Chromebooks in their “Modern Work” priorities.
The Windows maker is reportedly planning to follow Apple’s path and invest in custom silicon partnerships. This aligns with a previous report suggesting that Microsoft is exploring the design of ARM-based processors for servers and Surface devices.
MacBooks have already experienced improved performance and battery life since transitioning to their in-house developed M series processors. Recent reports also indicate that Microsoft is developing its own AI chips to compete with Nvidia.
