I wonder how this will pan out with people getting an OEM version with their new laptop. I am fairly certain that most people around me are not changing machine every 2-4 years; more like 5-7 years. I can't see how MSFT will explain to then they have been buying a Windows license all along but now, they need to buy a Windows subscription. I can see it having an impact of Chromebook for places where WIFI/4G is omni-present.
