One of the horseman of the dotcom crash?  \nThere it is again.<\/div><p>The Register: A number of job postings -- including this now-closed ad from late September for a principal software engineering manager -- are looking for engineers and others to become part of the \"newly formed Windows Incubation team\" whose mission is to \"build a new direction for Windows in a cloud first world.\" \n\nThe lofty goal is to \"move Windows to a place that combines the benefits of the cloud and Microsoft 365 to offer more compute resources on demand and creates a hybrid app model that spans from on-premises to the cloud.\" According to the ad, it also includes \"building a Web-based shell with direct integration with Windows 365.\" Included in the possible models are low-cost PCs available via subscriptions, with advertising helping to offset some of the costs. (Also mentioned in the job are direct-to-cloud devices.)<\/p><p><\/p><div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Microsoft+Mulls+Cheap+PCs+Supported+by+Ads%2C+Subs%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F3sXjFo5\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img src=\"https:\/\/a.fsdn.com\/sd\/twitter_icon_large.png\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F22%2F11%2F03%2F1935224%2Fmicrosoft-mulls-cheap-pcs-supported-by-ads-subs%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img src=\"https:\/\/a.fsdn.com\/sd\/facebook_icon_large.png\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a>\n\n\n\n<\/div><p><a href=\"https:\/\/tech.slashdot.org\/story\/22\/11\/03\/1935224\/microsoft-mulls-cheap-pcs-supported-by-ads-subs?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Register: A number of job postings &#8212; including this now-closed ad from late September for a pri&#8230;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/pappp.net\/?p=58898\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58898\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
