It seems strange to me that you would "move PC to cloud" for mass market users without also removing restrictions that are typically bound to local hardware - RAM for example.

If you take it for granted that you want to eschew typical hardware, and deliver experiences over the Internet, is the best way to do that really let someone rent 8GB of RAM in the cloud, and load Chrome and web pages into that cloud ram they rented? and then let the webpages paint in the cloud and draw it for the user over RDP?

This makes sense for Microsoft to use their desktop telemetry investments in the cloud era. But less sense for users doing basic productivity.

Interesting add-on thought: if you combine "cloud painting" with something like Squid, you could have a single (non-cookied) page 'rendered once', and displayed 'for everyone'
