If you ran a business, you would know the values of Windows Platform and the simplicity for users it has over linus. The average joe could not survive on Linus. 

After using Windows 10 for a year I can definitely say it is now my favorite windows.

10, 7, XP and 98SE. They are the definitive windows experiences! Anything else between is irrelevant.

Meh, my brother has one, i tried sometimes ago, didn't like it. Wins 7 is still much better imho.

Oh, it'll happen.  Just like they had ads on the XB Store, even if you were a subscriber to Gold.

As XBO has proven, gamers can do just fine without Xbox exclusives.  And if they do do this on a consumer level, I see a lot of gamers switching to SteamOS, Apple, or just "downgrading" to Windows 7.

And yes, just like with XBO, if MS continues to push anti-consumer policies using their past dominance as leverage, they can lose.  Big.  The XBO will be lucky to end the gen at 50M, far from the 100M+ the PS4 is targeting.  A far cry from last gen.  Imagine if Google comes out with a retooled Android for PCs, that supports Steam.  They could crush Windows if enough people get upset about MS's policies.

The article is not stating the situation correctly. From the official blog of MS this monthly subscription will be an additional licensing model for Enterprise and business customers, not a replacement. Office365 already has both a yearly and monthly plan in addition to being able to purchase a full Office 2013 and 2016 license.

The premise behind this option is that it enters you into the Software Assurance like program without having to buy it separately. This gives you all upgrades to newer versions so so long as you are still paying the subscription fee. That and MS loves money and although you get a better support structure from MS by going subscription it is much more costly than the older licensing models.

Time to switch over to another OS.
MS is upgrading people's OS behind their back anyway.

Depends on what kind of business and the size of the business. Like I said in a previous comment, yeah, ofcourse I wouldn't switch over if I ran some massive enterprise, but say if I only had 5-10 employers, it would be feasible.

Also, it's Linux, not Linus.

And you are also overdoing the user unfriendliness if Linux. Maybe your average 35-40 year old would struggle to adapt, but someone straight out of college would adapt in no time. Linux isn't way more complicated than Windows, it's just different.

Sorry I was distracted I do know it is Linux. Typo on my end. 

depends on the price and benefits.
$60 bucks a year for windows as a serivce would be something i consider. but they also need the oem market. so mabye home for oem and pro as a service

as i said. they will just not make it mandatory, because that would push the installbase away. make it for free for regular user. make it a subcription for poweruser who want more stuff.
