Win 10, a service?

[Bobw]

A monthly subscription fee?

If this come to fruition and hits business users long will it be before it hits the casual home user?
This should boost Mac sales.

It's a replacement/expansion for Wsus I believe. Nothing at all that can impact the consumer side.

The monthly fee probably for businesses at this point but if they start charging a monthly fee to use my computer I'll switch to Linux/Ubuntu/Mint (which are free OS) or Apple. Adobe already charges monthly fees for their productivity software.

A few years ago I setup my Win 10 laptop for dual boot (to be able to run two operating systems) to see how Mint works; I prefer it over Windows for surfing the web and doing email because it boots faster and I can still use the Firefox browser and Thunderbird email.
