    I don’t believe for one bit that windows will move to a pure subscription based model. They are greedy, but not stupid.

    What’s more believable is that the base OS will be the same as usual, but if you want fancy AI assistants in your OS, you must subscribe, with the justification being that MS must pay for the servers running the models you’re using.
