Microsoft is planning on you paying them a yearly fee to use Windows 10 like they do with Office. Once they get Windows 10 installed they will make the switch.
“Microsoft is planning on you paying them a yearly fee to use Windows 10...”
I like windows 10 above 8, but frankly it still has too much 8 in it. I can’t imagine any scenario where I’d want to pay a subscription for the basic necessity of running hardware. Sometimes I wonder if they are not trying to hand the market over to Apple and/or Linux as Windows 8 damn near did.
You don’t pay a yearly fee for Office. Office _365_ (the could version) yes, Office no.
Not really. They're pushing us toward service-based platforms where features are a la carte. And you know what? Apple and Android already do it!
You'll be buying a computer with a faster OS, because the features you don't want or need will not be installed by default. Every Linux distro out there now has a "Live" version of their distro where you can pick and choose what you want. The rest is hosted in the cloud and available for a usage fee. This IS the future, like it or not.
