Reply to comment by MetricVeil in Windows 10 users are being offered a Windows 11 upgrade despite not meeting the requirements by GOR098

Yes, but they require an OS to work, I don't think they'll do that to the OS because too many people would probably ditch both the OS and the sub services that run on it.

Edit: think inkjet cartridges... the printers were cheap because they made money on the ink.

Whilst the OS, itself, might remain as a one-time payment, the number of in-built components may start to switch to a subscription service - over time.

Microsoft will follow the money.
