I bet home users would accept a small monthly subscription to use the OS.

They're already conditioned in subscription services.

I remember when people thought a netflix subscription for mailed dvd's was stupid when blockbuster was on every corner.

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.
