[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1060030"] Interesting in the ini-file it mentions (in German) device based and user based subscriptions. It seems like a switch from free (!) upgrades from Windows 7 to 10 and from 10 to 11, now charging a fee (on a monthly base). I recently moved to Linux, for the only stupid reason that I did have only a 4GB USB stick available after my desktop died. I noticed that Libre Office still does not handle branded content very well (Powerpoints with logo's and specific slide formats), but Office 365 this is a no issue anymore. For private use (and hobby clubs with simple branding) Libre Office works very well. I don't see a lot of people moving to Linux, but Apple laptops and Chrome books might get more users when Windows becomes subscription based. I am still undecided whether or not to stay on Linux (my Mint Cinnamon LTS is supported until april 2027), but now certainly will delay buying new hardware and stay with my 25 euro upgrade (which is twice as fast as my old potato desktop).
