The final paragraph

For now, Intel's On Demand program is reserved for servers, and we would expect it to remain a prerogative of Xeon platforms. Meanwhile, back in the day, Intel offered software upgrades for its desktop processors to make them run faster. Unfortunately, that program faced criticism as Intel essentially crippled its perfectly fine processors. As a result, some might think the On Demand program mimics the ill-fated Intel Upgrade Service. Still, keeping in mind that the server world behaves differently than the client PC world and that we do not know the terms of Intel's On Demand, we would not draw parallels here until we know all the details.

Waiting for windows to become an "os as a service" in a few years, then restrict you from storing things locally, then offer no options for local storage at all, until you own nothing, all your computer shit lives on an msft server and you'll lose access if you don't pay a subscription, and msft finds some way to inject advertising in to your dreams.

Every year is the year of desktop Linux, just like how every year is the year China collapses
