    This is available when you clean install recent dev builds...

    I have made a test Install and so far nothing is different.

    It appears to be based on Professional...
    Has no usage limitations whatsoever.

    It does have a few missing folders from quick access and some other stuff.

    But is otherwise identical to Pro.

    Cloud will probably be the foundation for subscription-based Windows. It doesn't allow installing with a local account (the Setup is not updated yet, to account for this).

    I guess the perpetual licenses stay with Windows exactly as it is with Office, there's 365 for the subscription stuff and the one-pay licenses for the subscription haters (like me).
