Most open for frustration. Most open for ads. Most open for taking away control from the user.
Trust me, in a few years windows will be a monthly subscription, still filled with ads and no control over your own pc. Windows 10 will turn to a yearly subscription already. 30 dollars per year per pc for security updates. Office is already subscription based. Companies smell money, want to turn everything to a subscription.
Windows 360¹ will cost 30 bucks a year (adjusted for inflation) and will automatically upgrade you to the latest version of Windows as soon as it comes out. Additional benefits include improved security by blocking non-Store software and having your OS settings managed by Microsoft – Windows 360 will even automatically restore them if they should end up getting changed, e.g. if Recall somehow ends up disabled.
¹ Not to be confused with Windows 365, which is an entirely different thing.
So nice of them to manage my settings, even restore them when I changed any. Blocking non-store software is also great, forcing people to use the store is something Apple has done forever and totally doesn’t create a monopoly position and never restricts access or anything…
Paying money to give them total control. Are you fucking kidding me. They can shove an entire mid-tower pc case up their asses, lube is only on a subscription base available (1 drop of lube for just 7,99 per month, or 3 drops for a premium subscription of just 18,99 per month!)
These days I’d say Microsoft is getting even worse then Apple with extorting their customers.
most open to user privacy violations?
They are as open as OpenAI

I doubt microsoft will force consumers to pay, but that could happen to business.
Damn, I fucking hate the word “consumer”. It sounds like people are eating their pcs.
You don’t? Really nice with some basil.
Can we find a way to monetize this practice?
Am i not supposed to do that? What’s the point of computers then?
idk
Windows365 is close to release. Subscription based OS without local storage. Not just for businesses.
