[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 871118"] Interesting discussion. I see both sides to this, but i feel like MS would be shooting themselves in the foot if they go subscription, at least with home users anyways. Like others have said, if they do go this route, the price has to be reasonable. They will have to have different tiers to choose from. For me they will also have to step up their game and not release constant updates that seem to get pulled because something breaks. I've been very lucky in that regard, but I know a lot of people haven't been. I mean if you are going to start charging a subscription there will be expectations that you have a quality product, as well as removing all non-essential apps and useless ad's. Agreed! Since moving over to Linux recently I have enjoyed my experience with it way more than Windows. Workflow is far superior, performance is also far superior. Most major Linux distros come pretty much with everything one needs in most cases and apps can be added pretty easily. I think long ago Linux use to have some major hoops, but now a days (with the exception of some instances) most major hoops are gone. If you stick with a popular distros (Ubuntu, PopOS, Mint, Manjaro, Fedora, etc...) most have pretty good communities that are quite helpful, some are better than others though (community wise).
