Re: Never guessed...
actually this brings up a good point.
when you buy a Dell, say, it comes with Windows. FWIW to you, I realize. that OS is yours as long as that machine, sold to you by Dell, but without MS being directly involved, still works
if MS moves Windows to a subscription basis, then what would be the contractual effects to all parties if the Dell basically becomes an expensive paperweight if you stop your MS subscription?
would they be held liable for that? an easy solution would be for Dell to make a Linux distribution available to take over. not good for MS.
another might be legal verbiage by Dell warning that their shiny won’t work without a sub. not good for Dell.
