A co-worker recently reminded me that Windows 12 will likely be cloud based like Chrome OS.

Maybe this will be the end of Windows Update wasting our time and interrupting things?
I wonder what it will mean for those of us that still use our computers offline? I have a couple siblings still in school and their Chromebooks are pretty useless without internet.

I do not know. The idea of a truly global internet is still in the future.
Here is one idea:

Will it be? ???

IMHO- Even though technology is constantly changing, When new software, or operating designs render existing hardware obsolete, it is usually initially backward compatible to give the hardware market a chance to catch up.
Follow the money - Advertising revenue propels the internet. Market forces would not allow advertisers to suddenly be cut off from the lucrative student demographic.

Honestly I am sick of all the updates - on my Windows 11 computer (at my corporate job) the other day Windows Explorer was crashing. Every couple hours it would just quit. One time I went to click the start button and the button stuttered up to the top of the screen. A couple hours of updates and a restart later it was back to working fine again. :P
At home I have been rockin the classic. I bought old copies of office, and I have found there is very little it can't do. I don't know if OneNote changed at all.

I may resurrect my home cloud project, and use Windows XP as my own Cloud OS (running as a vm probably under libvirt/qemu). I think the trick will be to configuring my firewall to protect XP from random script kiddies.

Two news things to read over.

As spotted by The Verge, an internal Microsoft document from June 2022 revealed in the hearing mentions a consumer version of Windows 365. The slide, called "Modern Life strategy and priorities," includes a bullet point labeled 'Move Windows 11 increasingly to the Cloud.'
Somebody explain this please! :-[
