“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.
Linux is quick and has what most need but Microsoft knows they just say compatibility and most will pay. Especially when microsoft does not update or cripples the OS. Most people buy a pc and use the programs but know next to nothing about installing it thinking there is some elfing magic needed to install or fix.
