This is going to end well.
- Ekaros 3y agoI'm waiting for the day when Microsoft starts asking 30% of revenue on Windows 12...
- brianwawok 3y agoThey 100% would if they could.
- amelius 3y agoI'm waiting for the day when TSMC starts asking 30% of revenue for using their FabStore. Or ASML, for that matter.
- itg 3y agoAt this rate, why not having the mining companies charge 30% of revenue for using their metals.
- bentcorner 3y agoAll of the above would if they could, its just that alternatives and competition that prevents it.
- Cu3PO42 3y agoI don't believe there's currently any alternatives to ASML's machines for EUV lithography. Unless you're fine using an older process node with lower efficiency. Of course these nodes are fine for a lot of applications still, but I have trouble believing there's any alternatives for cutting edge CPUs, GPUs, etc.
- amelius 3y ago> if they could Are you sure, even Microsoft had the decency to not extort their business users this much back in the 80s and 90s.
- bartwe 3y agoThere is a reason they try and push folks to the Store....
- tsunamifury 3y agoNope but 30% of AI assisted output -- they are gonna try for that for sure
- blibble 3y agoMicrosoft store is already there soon the move towards mass remote attestation will finally arrive and that'll be the only approved place to install software
- amelius 3y agoYes, for Amazon. Ka-ching!
- cowsup 3y agoShort-term, yes. Long-term, these apps and services will start looking into offering hardware solutions of their own to become competitors, not providers.
