Windows 10

[Mjolinor]

I thought Windows 10 was a lease thing?

Buy a new computer and get a year worth of lease then in a year your PC packs up until you agree to pay Micro$hite a monthly fee, same as they have done with Office.

If that is true you would have to be pretty desperate to upgrade.

Also wonder if "upgrade" is correct, that implies better and I have yet to see them improve anything with a new release.

Yeah Microsoft's silence on the matter speaks volumes.

Another huge no-no for me is the fact that all updates auto-install with no option to switch off updates. Not only would that destroy my data plan but Windows updates haven't always been known to 'work'.

I like Windows. But I would hate it if they went subscription only and not give me any way to manage my OS and my PC.
