While microsoft also plays in the quarter to quarter economic BS they still have long term planning.
It’s precisely because they have a monopoly on enterprise class software that they could pull this off. That’s why the shift in euro-gov agencies to linux is such a big deal.
MS already has updates as a “free” service and windows insider which requires a paid azure sub which means they already use the threat of “security risks” to force companies to subscribe to azure, which is in effect equivalent to a sub to the OS.
I’m suggesting that they’re going to do what they’ve said they want to do. Just maybe on the longer term or in a novel way.
The biggest motivation they have to keep individual licenses OTP is it gets people used to the ecosystem (customer capture) and they’re massively profiting on all of yourthat data.
Making their OS subscription based is not what we’re talking about though. We’re talking about it becoming locked down and only running signed and approved software like Android is going to do.
That fundamentally breaks windows for most of the corporate world. Literally would break the world as we know it lol.
