    Microsoft has been moving more and more of their products to a subscription service. Doing it with Windows itself has been theorized for a while now.

      I’d pay 5 bux if all the Microsoft features were unlocked, office 360 n all that. I’d pay 5 bux a month if they stopped screwing around with interface and all and just make things SIMPLE, unhackable ETC. Id pay 5 bux a month if it Microsoft OS was the best, easiest , plug n play type of deal. If they enovated and made me anonymous and unhackable on the internet I would pay it. There’s no thing as perfect but windows and there constant upgrades ETC have annoyed me for years. I’d still use windows 7 if I could; but noo… they had to go and “enovate”.
