Personally, I'd rather not be reliant on the 'cloud' for anything. That aside, asking everyone to pull elements of the OS over the Internet, is not going to be very helpful for those with bandwidth caps or low bandwidth connections
Like everything else, you pay what you can afford for what you want, and if you aspire for something, you make allowances.;
That's very understanding of you
You are dependent on the cloud already - for internet, updates, antivirus, support - Windows 8+ will ensure that dependence increases. Fact of life, I am afraid.
Not exactly. None of those are mandatory, people may choose when and for how long to use the Internet, within their individual constraints. Making 'cloud' access compulsory is going to be very hard on those of limited means/connections and is tantamount to creating a two tier Internet. Perhaps when ISPs around the world can offer everyone, reasonably fast and relatively inexpensive connections, the 'cloud' will be seen as a valid medium. Until then, it's only useful for those who have the means.
