Seems like an odd direction when a lot services are moving online and to SaaS based solutions, removing the dependency of a specific underlying OS.
This is just another move in that direction. Maybe the next version will be a thin client where you stream most of your apps. The pricing wouldn't change, only where apps are run.
pricing would change, you think they'd let you run 'apps' for free?
I'm guessing there would be one base charge for the OS, and additional charges for whatever apps you opt into.
