- throwanem 2y agoWait, they still expect people to pay for Windows? I thought the whole play now was giving that away as a loss leader for the services that actually make money. Granted, I haven't paid attention to Windows since about 2020, when a brief flirtation with an OEM copy of Windows 10 turned me off the platform permanently. So maybe this is just me being out of touch - although, if they are still charging money for it, maybe not as out of touch as Microsoft's product leadership.
