OneDrive will be integrated by default in Windows 10

Some images of Windows 10 Build 9901 leaked on the network showed that Microsoft wants to tightly integrate OneDrive online storage service as an alternative to saving data directly in the computer hard drive. This helps the Windows-based laptop to be softer and more competitive before the massive arrival of Chromebooks.

More than a year ago, computer manufacturers such as Acer, Asus, Dell, Lenovo and Samsung joined the low-end market segment with the Chromebook model running Google's Chrome OS ( Chrome OS ). The operating mechanism of Chrome OS is web-based, so the design of Chromebook does not require a strong hardware configuration like a regular laptop and this has a great impact on product prices.

The leaked information also shows that Microsoft is building a Azure-based application and game streaming service called Arcadia. Instead of having to install on a computer hard drive, which is limited in capacity, running applications (and games) directly from the cloud is said to be more convenient. The application is always up to date with timely fixes and what you need is an Internet connection because most of them run on the web.

Previously, Adobe recognized and launched Photoshop streaming feature for Chromebooks. Will Microsoft do the same with Office office suite?

For computer manufacturers, the cost reduction will increase the competitiveness of the product. For example, recently sold Asus EeeBook X205 or HP Stream 11 for only $ 199, using eMMC 32GB flash memory instead of internal hard drive, comes with 1TB of free storage of OneDrive and Office license 365 for one year of use.

Microsoft does not comment so the information related to OneDrive and Arcadia will be integrated deep in Windows 10 is only speculative. However, if the leaked information is true, this is considered a strong move by Microsoft to prevent the development of the Chromebook wave.
