Do you think this could improve Windows? More dosh in the coffers at Microsoft would mean more investment into their product, and happier customers. I'm all for it personally. I look forward to paying Nadella's cut off my neetbux each month.

I already pay for Netflix, phone and car insurance, not looking for any more subscriptions

For how long has /g/ been predicting that Windows is gonna turn into a subscription service? Since at least Windows 10, so it's been 11 years now. Just give it up already.

it'll improve linux adoption tenfold

Yeah sometimes I sit around thinking how Microsoft can acquire more money so their small indie team can improve windows.
>>108724980
you can smell it in the air at this point
chutzpah is at an all time high

>>108724656
No. Their profit center is elsewhere alrwady. Why reward them for producing excrement?

I will kek if they do this.

Why do you think this would happen when they could simply keep the extra money for their shareholders?
>>
>>108724656
No. Money is not the problem at all. Microsoft have thousands of times enough money to make Windows perfect, if they wanted to. The problem is that they don't care about Windows being shit, they don't need to, Windows will always keep its monopoly no matter what, so they can let retarded indians and women turn every part of it into shit. Also, it's a fact, none of the people who take decisions at Microsoft knows how bad Windows has become because they only use Apple products.

You're really never going to give this up are you? Even when it makes no sense in the context of Microsoft's business model?
>>
>>108724656
Why would I pay for an OS?
>>
>>108724656
Modern tech is all about finding new and novel ways of making the product worse. More money means a greater budget to implement new levels of enshitification that was previously unknown.

if they did this it would end their brand and everyone would pirate

Thanks, but I'm still using Artix Linux.

>The trillion dollar company needs more money to improve their indian garbage
Nah if anything it will make it worse because they'll just have a huge influx of cash for no reason further vindicating their business model as

>"The less we do and the worse it gets, the more we make. We can do no wrong"

At this rate the only cure is a massive market share drop and panic on MSs end.

>>108724656
They've had AI cranking out patches for the last year or so and haven't sent you a check for part of your Windows purchase price. Why the hell do you think they'd invest subscription revenue into Windows?
>>
>>108724656
>$12/month
Better at least have Pro edition features at that price.

Either way, doing this would kill Windows for home use. I could see them trying to paywall more features beyond AI shit behind MS365 though.

AAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>
>>108724656
Telemetry was supposed to improve Windows and here we are. Microsoft already screws people who pay up, obviously this isn't gonna improve any products. It could be $120 a month and they would still produce garbage as long as it sells. OP I don't wanna hurt your feelings but this is a pretty fucking stupid question to ask.
>>
>>108724656
They make and update windows to sell you inside their ecosystem so to speak, most notably, the office suite. Which now is monthly and not a single purchase product.
Making Windows a subscription service will do more harm than good at getting those subscription sales and make people switch to Linux and Mac, probably killing their absolute market share dominance.
Ad niggers and telemetry are their "subscription model" nowadays.
>>
Firing all Indians could improve Windows.

>make people switch to Linux
This will never happen why you freetards can't understand that?
>>
>>108729967
>This will never happen why you freetards can't understand that?
It's already been happening though? This half decade linux marketshare quadrupled, are you stupid?
It doesn't have to be enmasse, nor does it have to have 98% total market share to be true. People at last found out Windows is a piece of garbage bloated with spyware and the only thing holding Linux back from domination is 5 prod apps and anticheats.
>>
>>108724656
I hope they do that to finally break that jeet infested place
>>
>>108724656
You might genuinley be retarded if you think a subscription would result in "more investment into their product"
