No, I didn’t extrapolate anything.

Sure you did. The only mention online by MS of subscription fees is as an Enterprise option. Nothing about home users. Yet you claim it's a done deal. Why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here’s the post again for your review:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where the “Windows 10 subscription” stuff comes from:

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/07/12/announcing-new-subscription-options-for-windows-10-and-surface-for-businesses/

Let’s do the Google thing.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=windows+10+subscription

It’s half and half on the results.

The ones who say “NO!” are pointing strictly at the Enterprise version and denying any slippery slope.

The ones who say “YES!” are saying yes, it’s just on the Enterprise version now, BUT you KNOW how Microsoft is, then “SLIPPERY SLOPE!”.

I’ve got contingencies for either outcome.

If they leave Windows 10 Home users alone, then I don’t have to do anything.

If they decide to foist a $7 per user/machine/core/cupcake or whatever monthly charge on me, I’m switching over to Linux Mint and trying to escape contracts taken out on my life by my wife who only knows MS Office 2003-2010 and doesn’t recognize OpenOffice or LibreOffice as valid software.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have extrapolated absolutely nothing. I have not claimed anything was a done deal.

Reading comprehension is a very valuable, yet rare, skill it seems. Try it, you may like it.
