The writing is on the wall--I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service. Gather your ISOs while ye may.

They are saying like they just invented something amazing, yet they are just pushing a fucking ad.
How would you know what we actively do on our PCs, huh? Huh???
For now, but you have to be extremely naive to believe they don't plan to change this as soons as they reach a certain number of users. They already did things like that in the past.
Enshittification comes for all things eventually. "You'll own nothing and like it."
Yeah that slogan really captured very well the intentions at the world economic forum.
I know it's not what they officially stated but it really captured (they since walked it back and said it only was meant to "describe emerging trends") the intentions of what happens when they all come to Davos and divide the world between them.
But I don't believe "as a service" models are more sustainable. They will just enable more rent-seeking behaviour meaning we will get even less for our money. The incentive to deliver will be even lower as they will get paid anyhow.
My Sibling in Christ, giving us less for our money and giving them more control over our lives is the intent of all of this. Time to seize the means of computation.
