New leaks, published by the ZDnet network, which specializes in technology, revealed the introduction of cloud desktop computers, during the next year, starting in the spring, when a high-capacity and specification personal computer can be acquired, including a state-of-the-art processor, in addition to an electronic memory. Not less than 8 GB, and high-speed and high-capacity SSD storage, without the device being in the home, office, or carrying a backpack.

A ZDNet report, in which it dealt with the new wave of leaks, which is the second of its kind after the first wave that started last July, stated that the new computer is a completely virtual personal device, located in the cloud, and the user accesses it and operates it via a very low-capacity computer. Whether it is a tablet or a mobile phone, and it allows the user to dispense with it whenever he wants, then return to it whenever he wants, according to a payment plan that he sets himself.

«Microsoft»

According to the leaks, Microsoft is behind the development and launch of the cloud desktop class, and intends to present it as one of the services of its giant cloud computing platform known as "Azure".

However, "Microsoft" did not officially speak about its personal cloud computers. However, the leaks indicate that the American company is developing it within a project codenamed "The Dish Hats Project", about which some hints appeared in the job description of the director of the "Microsoft Personal Cloud Computers" program. Which appeared on its site on the fifth of June, and was the reason for the launch of the first wave of leaks in July.

New strategy

"ZD Net" quoted experts that the "Microsoft Personal Cloud" computers are a great new long-term strategy, through which it intends to write a new chapter in the march of personal computers, which contradicts what the company started several decades ago, specifically at the end of the seventies of the last century. , By its founder Bill Gates, who provided operating systems for personal computers "Windows", in order to build independent computers, spread in offices and homes, and operate away from the control and domination of large computers (Main Frame), and the supercomputers (servers), which were controlling Completely on the IT world at the time.

3 levels

The recent leaks indicate that Microsoft will offer the cloud personal computers in three levels of specifications: medium level, heavy level, and advanced level.

At the mid-level, the computer is composed of two CPU units, a 4-gigabyte (RAM) random-access memory, and a 96-gigabyte (SSD) storage unit, and this computer is designed for "general purposes optimized for cost and flexibility", according to what It was mentioned in the leaks.

At the heavy level, the computer consists of two central processing units, an 8-gigabyte random access memory, with a storage unit of "SSD" capacity of 96 gigabytes, and it is designed for those with "advanced computing needs that are optimized for performance and speed."

The computer in the advanced third level consists of three central processing units, 8 GB RAM, and 40 GB SSD storage, and is designed to provide fast graphics optimized for scalability and data processing.

Software and operation

In terms of software, these computers operate on Windows 10, Mac, iOS, Apple, and Google Android operating systems.

The cloud Office 365 software package tops the applications running on these computers, and includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and others. These computers can also work with any other application equipped to work across Cloud Computing.

In terms of operation, it is sufficient for the user to have a low-specification computer, whether it is a desktop, laptop or tablet, to act as a tool for access, access and display, as applications or operating systems for the cloud personal computer did not use any resources from the access and display tool except for the screen and keyboard only, As for the rest of the operations, it will actually take place on the resources and capabilities of the cloud personal computer, through the "Microsoft Remote Desktop" application.

As for the price, it will be a subscription that is determined on the basis of the level that the user chooses, and is paid monthly, quarterly or annually.

Cloud Computing

Cloud personal computers embody the vision of the current CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, who transformed the entire heart of the company's business into cloud computing, which began with large enterprise software and systems, and then a suite of office software, which is now offered as a cloud service under the name "365", then the "Windows" operating system itself, which became "Windows 10", and finally moved to provide complete desktop personal computers, meaning that it includes hardware, hardware, and all software from the operating system and applications, through the cloud.
