If Windows adopted a freemium model I don't think it will attract many more users - I doubt there are consumers deterred form using Windows because of the price tag. I think this is the unfortunate future of desktop OSs though, with Ubuntu adding ads (or links to products they get a slice from) with local search results.
- antihero 14y agoI think it's wrong to compare this - useless ads on a product you pay for, with Ubuntu - search functionality that happens to benefit a specific provider, on a free OS, which is removable by a single command.
