CTOnews.com, November 2, according to the job list found by foreign media ZDNet, Microsoft may be considering launching a new low-cost PC driven by Windows cloud computing and advertising in the future.

According to the job list of Microsoft's chief software engineering manager, the company is looking for someone who can help "set a new direction for the Windows experience and business model." The list also mentions "low-cost PC supported through advertising and subscriptions" and "new direct cloud hardware devices across work and life".

Interestingly, Microsoft's job list mentions several product names, including Windows 365 and the newly formed Windows incubator team. Microsoft specifically mentioned that the work done by its team will "lead the next wave of cloud innovation in Windows, from defining a new hybrid application model that can be extended from local to cloud computing."

According to this series of job postings, it seems that Microsoft is considering launching a device similar to a thin client. Thin client (thin client) is a computing dumb terminal that basically does not need an application in the client-server network system. The thin client transmits its mouse, keyboard and other inputs to the server for processing, and the server sends back the processing results to the thin client to show that different thin clients can log on to the server at the same time. Simulate a mutually independent working environment on the server.

Thin clients only need very low hardware prices to achieve cloud office, with Microsoft's Windows 365 is really a good choice, we can look forward to it.

CTOnews.com learned that more than a year ago, Microsoft announced Windows 365, a service that allows enterprises to securely spread the full Windows experience, with the operating system hosted on the Microsoft cloud. Employees do not need special hardware, just sign up for the project to take advantage of the personalized Windows experience.

The Windows 365 application is supported by all Windows 11 devices and provides a direct path to the cloud computer from the taskbar or start menu. Enjoy the full Windows 11 experience when moving between local and cloud computers, with prices ranging from $20 to $162.
