Recently Microsoft released the link 365 which is basically a thin client for Azure. You can't run anything locally nor is there any local files. It literally just connects you to a desktop elsewhere.

What would be cool is if there was a company that made Linux platform that was consumer focused.

Linux Mint, Ubuntu, even Arch are tying to make Linux easier to use for average consumers
