Nothing wrong with that, there're quite some OSs with subscriptions (but annualy). Call me when this applies to customer version.
Microsoft already offers Windows as a service for enterprise clients (much like it does Office 365), and we already had news of a subscription concept that was being patched in, so this is not surprising at all.
7 bucks a month per user does seem excessive, though.
>>55576257
What the fuck? I already gave these dirty kikes 130 euros. They can go eat shit.

Why buy a license for $50 and use it for 4 years if you can spend $336 in monthly payments instead? Retard.
I hate to interrupt, but this is important.
You have only 28 days to install gentoo.

1: the article says it's for enterprise thus far
2: windows 7 will lose support and you will be stuck paying 4 rupees a month for home edition in a matter of time
>>55576257
>That cost will be $7 per user per month but the good news is it only applies to enterprises, for now. The new pricing tier will be called “Windows 10 Enterprise E3” and it means Windows has finally joined Office 365 and Azure as a subscription service.
That branding sounds like they're probably not even going to drop the regular non-subscription Enterprise distributions, the same way they still sell Office as a stand-alone product.
Even if they do, someone will find away around it, they always do.
>>55577068
Keep hope alive.
>>55577121
you caused this by pirating software
this means we won't be able to pirate windows anymore. Windows 11 or whatever will be fully subscription based from the start. Windows 10 is the last pirate-able edition.
oh well, it was a nice run.
>>55577129
This is actually not bad for a small business.
First of all, Enterprise is the only usable version of Windows 10. You have 10x more control over shit than any other version and you can actually turn shit off for the most part, including actually stopping updates and even a Long Term version that won't get bi-yearly major updates.
The biggest problem with the current Enterprise model for small businesses is that the Volume Licensing system is a pain in the ass to use and is way too expensive if you aren't buying 100+ licenses.
$7 flat each is a far better option.
>>55576992
I bet you use Linux mint now.
Your cuckoldry disgusts me.

>linking to le ebin infinite loop
>>55577160
That's exactly what I suspected looking into it further, though I can't find a licensing rate for 10 Enterprise, it sounds great for a small business.
I also can't really see them discontinuing "regular" Enterprise any time soon, feels like the subscription model isn't really conducive to potentially unreliable network connections or security practices like air-gapping that you might see in a large business.
>>55577253
>though I can't find a licensing rate for 10 Enterprise
Because currently with the shit Volume Licensing system you need to register and find a "provider service" that is licensed to sell you licenses. Each of those services charge differently You can't just buy the fucking thing directly, it's a garbage system.

>Mount denial

>>55577280
Cucked again, Wincucks
RMS was right ONCE AGAIN, Motherfuckers
This makes sense given how Windows 10 works
Before they could charge companies for a new version of Windows, but now every "new version" will just be a rolling release, so they need a subscription model otherwise companies buy it once and use it forever, getting all the updates for free

It applies to windows 10 mostly, vista and 7 are still good.
this is not revelant at all, if you don't like it, just pirate it, its easy as fuck

I wonder if this will finely push more business to GNU/Linux or how does it affects KMS activated versions which is what most serious copyright infringes use to activate their Windows versions.

>>55577427
>I wonder if this will finely push more business to GNU/Linux
Oh the adorable Loonix delusion, every thread.
These businesses are likely already paying monthly for Office 365, so it'll be no different for them. In fact paying $7 flat directly to Microsoft beats the shit out of the current volume licensing system they have in place
>>55577427
If anyone will be ditching windows it'll be the home user, offices and big businesses will still be using windows forever as far as I'm aware.

It's free as in freedom that's whats important, not the price.

Oh dear, you've been fucked so hard by corporate they've gotten you to thinking that photoshop and windows and word is the only correct way to be using software. You must be bleeding out of the asshole by now.
>>55576257
This doesn't affect existing Windows 10 Enterprise or LTSB, it's a separate Enterprise product "E3".
Makes sense since windows is now a Software as a service.
They'll soon charge home and pro versions as well. This way piracy can be prevented as well
Stay cucked, wincucks
>>55577268
That does indeed sound awful. I think I found a price list from one of those "provider services" but they didn't list Windows rates.
>>55577427
>I wonder if this will finely push more business to GNU/Linux
It won't, subscription services are nothing new in the world of enterprise(TM) software, and there's far more jew to go around than this tactic that actually probably saves smaller companies money.
>>55577714
>piracy can be prevented
>>55577807

>>55577154

All consumer retardss and /v/ kids not knowing how VL licensing works. It's better for small/mid size businesses. Pro versions suck, Enterprise is where it's at. Beforehand it was a PITA to get Ent versioon to smaller businesses with <150 computers
>>55578664
Also those retarded middlemen. Now it's hopefully straight from MS. So cheaper and easier
>>55577150

We use Red Hat on ca 20% of workstations, others can't be changed, because of software.
>>55577567
GIMP can't but libreoffice works nicely for most office drone tasks, which is what people use microsoft office for 99% of the time
>>55577128
No he won't memefag
because he probably disabled his updates
stay cucked
thanks OP. I got some Melissa Carnety quote
What a strong beautiful woman
So does this mean I have to run KMS once a month?
>>55577061
Vulkan will never get widespread support. Linux has <1% desktop share, and combine that with the fact that MS coerces all devs to use DX and there's no reason to use Vulkan at all.
Vulkan is going to be the new OpenGL. A couple devs will use it, but for the most part everyone is going to use DX.
>>55576257
After talking to our Microsoft Rep, this is for Enterprises that are not in an EA agreement, so this offers flexibility for those not wanting to purchase all those licenses up front (which are expensive btw, nearly 169 per use if i remember correctly. So 7 dollars a month per user is a pretty good deal.
>>55577575
GIMP honestly is slow as fuck on great hardware. Photoshop's GPU acceleration makes it king regardless of anything else.
>>55576603
just wait for the news that the free version only allows UWP apps-
Consumers will not pay 7 dollars a month for an operating system. That's ridiculous. Microsoft better keep this to enterprise and just let us have free updates.
>>55579716
Of course it will be free, what do you think do they with the data they collect.
>>55579716
Honestly this could work out in "our" benefit.
M$ goes full retard with Win10 and tries to sub base consumer level software.
Consumers shift to Linux and it's variants.
AMD & Jewvidia actually have motivation to actually produce actual, fully-functioning GPU drivers. Not this, "Well it gets 10% be tter FPS in GLXgears!!1" shit we've seen over the past 6 years or so.

This isn't enough to get enterprise to move away from windows. Hell they could charge by the minute of owning a license and it still wouldn't be enough.
What is interesting to know is just how a 'user' is defined. My shop has over 16,000 people in AD, and yet lots of them are simply clocking in and out and dont really have a device issued to them. and then you have the operations team that have 3 to 7 accounts each. granted when you have 16k accounts an extra 70 or so isn't too bad, but it is still a question of what qualifies as a user

WOW! You really rekt'd him.
Announcing the Apple iProduct.
|| Apple iProduct. You'll buy it. And you'll like it.
Do you like Apple products? Do you live for every product announcement, every incremental upgrade, every rumor and fake screenshot? Do you wank and blare and drone and fucking gurgle about Apple products morning, noon, and night? Then get ready for iProduct. You'll be blown away. No matter what it is.
|| The power to buy anything - and feel good about it.
Will it be merely an incremental improvement? Will we simply increase the storage capacity of an existing product and increase the price? Or will we remove features and capacity and reduce the price? It doesn't matter. We'll still trumpet it as a brand new product, and you'll buy it. You know you'll want it. And you know you'll pay big for it. Steve Jobs could take a dump, put it in an off-white plastic case, add two grey buttons and a small LCD display, and you'd pay $600 for it. Just fucking admit it.
|| What is it?
We're not saying yet. But we know that won't stop you. Post at length about it on every message board you have access to. Come up with fake product photos and post them, too. Start rumors or deny them. Compare it with existing products, even though you don't know what you're comparing them to.
|| When can I get it?
Relax, hipster, we'll tell you when it's ready. And you'll tell everybody else. Whether they care or not. You'll clog every blog, forum, and message board in the known universe with product photos, testimonials, and praise for Apple. And the complaints and insults you recieve are just proof that you're right.
|| How much will it cost?
Like you care. As you already know, it'll be twice as expensive as other companies' products with comparable features. But that doesn't matter, does it? No matter how much it costs, you'll feel special because you've bought an Apple product. If you forget how special you are, just look at your credit card statement.
Apple iProduct.

Can't people just legally own software anymore? I just want to buy something and have it until I feel the need to upgrade, is that too much to ask.
Solidworks is the worst. You have to buy a subscription every year and there is no backward compatibility between versions so once you open a file in the latest version you can't open it in an older one. Frustrating as hell.

I'd like to point out that Apple was a failure as far back as the Apple 2. The BASIC on the machine sucked, and they had to get Microsoft's version to do floating point math.
Apple got Microsoft to make applications for the initial Macs.
Apple continues to rely on Microsoft to make applications for the Mac so that they can remain competitive in the business arena.
Apple would be a dead company by now had Microsoft not bailed them out with a ton of money in the late 90's.
Apple said PowerPC was superior to x86 technology, but now they use Intel.
Apple said their OS was faster and more secure that Windows, but then they switched to unix with a flashy interface.
Seriously, Apple is run by a lunatic of a man who wants everything his way and only his way. This is why there's always been disaterously retarded hardware and software aspects over the years. One button mouse, window buttons at the top left, single file menu at the top in the day of true multitasking, etc etc etc. Apple is living in the 80's, on modern hardware.
What have we learned here? Modern-day Apples are overpriced Linux boxes with a flashy shell. The end.

I think you should do some research because I know for a fact that mac is linux, just a more polished version.
Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?
That sounds preposterous to me.
If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.
Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Windows 10, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.
Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.
I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)
If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”
A US judge, presiding over a trial for copyright infringement, recognized that “piracy” and “theft” are smear words.

no it's the business version of windows that gets no updates and is still stuck on last summer's release
I used it for a while but it's complete shit, W10 pro takes ~3 sec to boot from my SSD and has access to the windows store, and W10 Enterprise LTSBN took like 10 sec to boot and didn't even have basic programs in it
>>55581729
No, Enterprise is Enterprise. Pro is not Enterprise.

I really only use bluetooth devices with my phone and bluetooth is kind of slow to transfer data from phone -> rig so I guess my answer is that I really don't need bluetooth on my PC but it's bundled in with my wireless card

>but muh games.
The following is pasta but:
Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.
The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.
I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

I understand this post.
I experienced the same shit. Either you use their software or they start shitting on you until you drown in fuckery.
>>55581516
I love how the 'no games' argument already fell and now it's necessary to put more and more conditions to criticize linux. I don't get why people gets happy with microsoft's exclusivity when microsoft losing that exclusivity is the best it can happen to the users.
>>55582077

I had a chat to a google employee a few days ago.
Most of the people that work there are well meaning, great human beings. It's the marketing and advertising teams that are the problem, along with lawyers that just write whatever they can to get payed top dollar.

>>55582379
So does MS, so does Apple, so does the Chinese govt.
Thankfully, the software engineers at google are more scared than we are of the potential of such a system and are reigning themselves in. It's china that you want to be scared of, because some naive businessman in a position of power is going to push the button.

And google gets almost all it's revenue from advertising, so much for well meaning, great human beings who sell your data to Satan.
