Wow, Microsoft really surprised me! Now you can run Windows even on iPhone. I wonder how this will work in practice? 🤔
Hans
Yes, Olivia, that's really impressive. I was especially interested in the possibility of using local devices. Imagine working on a MacBook and using Windows with all its advantages!
Sophie
Sounds cool! But what confuses me is that this is only for work and school accounts. I would like to have access from my personal account. Do you think they will add this in the future? 🤞
Juan
Sophie, I hope so too! In general, this looks like the first step towards completely moving Windows to the cloud. Can you imagine how our work will change when the entire experience is completely cloud-based? 😮
Viktor
Ha, another useless toy. Why do we need Windows on iPhone? The good old computer works great. All these clouds only make life more difficult and create security problems.
Olivia
Viktor, I understand your concern, but technology does not stand still. This opens up new opportunities for work and study. For example, you can access important files from any device! 💼📱
Hans
I agree with Olivia. In addition, Microsoft pays great attention to security. And the ability to use Windows on different devices is really convenient for many professionals.

Did you notice that they mentioned AI services? I wonder how this will be integrated into Windows. Maybe some kind of revolution in user experience awaits us? 🚀🤖
