2 things: First, Windows 12 being subscription only has been "debunked" multiple times, as the source for the article that shouted that from the rooftops was code for Windows 11 - which MS is currently working to have a subscription cloud-based version of for enterprise customers. Second, MS is 100% working on and going to launch cloud based Windows for enterprise customers "soon". It can be largely cloud based, and all that has to be installed local is instructions for how to log in and access the cloud during boot, and likely won't be able to do anything itself if the internet is disconnected.
