[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1103116, member: 114717"] Microsoft has been making moves to transition Windows to a fully subscription-based product and service. It has been discussing this publicly for years. Slowly it is happening for home users. Microsoft's stated objective is that at some point in the future (within the next 20 years) is for Windows Home to be 100% subscription - whether it is Windows running in the cloud or a local instance on a device\hardware. The first step in this long-term project is to create Windows 365 services for home users and indoctrinate them into the 100% subscription model for the operating system. Microsoft has said this is part of a larger plan to make the OS a subscription-only product\service. It is willing to be patient using long-horizon strategies and methods in transitioning the global market to this model. It began on this project before Windows 10 was released. [/QUOTE]
