Comment Is Microsoft's cloud the ulterior motive? (Score 4, Insightful) 214
Hello,
Requiring lower-capacity storage on devices running Windows, especially laptops, seems like a good way to boost subscriptions to Microsoft's cloud-based apps and storage (Office 365, OneDrive, etc.).
Hopefully, regulators will ensure that such pushes occur in a transparent fashion so that customers have a choice of third-party services (Box, DropBox, Google, Zoho, and so forth) without having to use Microsoft's "solutions," especially since they are solving problems created by Microsoft's guidelines for reducing storage capacities in the first place.
