    How many months away are we from Windows requiring a subscription to use, with a cheaper version for the OS + Office and a more expensive that also bundles AI?

      Funny thing is, I would have paid for a more expensive version that’s just the core OS and minimalist set of tools (and by tools I mean explorer, task manager, and maybe a browser to download firefox or something else).

      Now? I’m happy to tell people “nope, can’t help you, I don’t do MS stuff anymore”.

      iirc, they did do a limited regional test of subscription windows back sometime during win7.
