but the businesses have to options which means one lets gets patches and feature updates and the other just the patches. They get the upgrades too
So you are telling me M$ are going to sell Windows to businesses and home consumers once they let them just keep upgrading the software for free? that is financial suicide
The only demographic that needs to keep upgrading hardware is the gamer specially now the tech is where it is. A basic computer now has so much power that a hell of a lot of businesses will not need to buy a new machine again for years and years unless one breaks of course. SO buy Windows 10 then not have to buy another OS for what could be decade or longer .
I still think at some point in the not to distant future we will see a subscription based or some sort of annual payment to keep the upgrades going
