Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

    No reservations about paying for the subscription if they opt to require it for Windows 12? Or would that be one of the major issues?

      That would be a big problem. I would not pay a subscription. But I’m also not buying into the hype saying that it’s going to have a sub. That was based on a “leaked” email that wasn’t even clear about what they were talking about.

        It definitely seems like they would be shooting themselves in the foot by requiring a subscription, but tech companies also love requiring subscriptions even when it’s completely asinine to do so. I could see it going either way.

      Even apple hasn’t gone to a subscription based model yet. I highly doubt Microsoft is gonna be like “yeah that’d be a great idea.”

      The last time I heard about something going subscription based was with Bungie and Destiny 2 from a “leak,” which was just bollocks.

      I’m sure they’d know that going that route would result in a lot more problems.
