A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.

Bucha Bull to me.

    Eh, depends. The price for something like VMware horizon was already damn expensive and that’s before you got to citrix prices (and this is pre broadcom takeover.)

    For some places the costs are able to be recouped but it really depends. You still need plenty of scale to have that be viable IME.

    My main point being there are a millions of small businesses and medium size ones that are still always going to be far better off with normal physical hardware.
