I'll believe it when I see it

Why? Why even wanna see it? Just walk away, go to Linux, and find that suddenly you own your computer again

    Because the vast majority of users don't care enough to change what they're used to and learn something new. They just don't care that they don't own their computer.

    Don't underestimate human inertia.

    Hell, if MS ever really starts pushing VDI, I guarantee there will be mass adoption.

    there's no chance my company stops using Windows any time soon

    and until then, I need MS to stop doing their goddamn best to make it impossible for me to do my job

    Unless you are locked in by hardware or some very specific software, you can make a very compelling case on how much your company can save on MS licenses every year.

    Unfortunately it wouldn't be practical as it would mean replacing and replicating everything that exists on SharePoint, Azure, Power BI and a multitude of other MS services used by thousands of users.
