[A]n INI configuration file in the Windows Canary channel, discovered by German website Deskmodder, includes references to a “Subscription Edition,” “Subscription Type,” and a “subscription status.”

    The thing is you won’t find people discussing which service pack of windows to use. The cool thing about Linux is the diversity in environments. If win12 is a subscription based build, I will be joining the flock moving to Linux. After that moment linux will have all the saturation necessary for whatever is in store. I just hope it stays FOSS.

      Most of the major components to Linux can’t become not-FOSS. It’s more likely that Windows will be made into a good, quality, user-respecting operating system.

      (Also they can all be forked.)

        I make it a habit to not underestimate corporate greed.
