The writing is on the wall–I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service. Gather your ISOs while ye may.

    Now I’m wondering if the point of the ads is not to make revenue, but to get people used to paying a subscription fee for their OS by way of a “removing ads” fee, maybe they start bundling other things into the subscription version like game pass or office to sweeten the deal, then slowly transition to a purely subscription model.

      This is my assumption, and there’s a roadmap in place already.
