Who knows? Or then again it could be the Steve Jobs wannabe looking for attention.

So I think I see where this might be going. Is Windows slowly creeping to the SaS model that Adobe is adopting? More or less kills any hope of pirating I am afraid since SaS more or less requires validation every time you sign on. It does have the limitation of a broadband connection and I have no idea what that landscape looks like globally. If that is true Windows might turn into a bigger pain in the butt than it already is. I mean that kind of stuff is currently relegated to the dime store operating systems like Android.
So at one point Nadella suggested that Windows become a subscription-based operating system but it looks like Gates returned to fight against it. Now that Billy boy is down with his own personal problems is this the strategic moment for Nadella to strike? I know looking at the possible projected numbers the stock holders love it, but at least I as a user will move on to Linux with hopes a truly mature GUI that becomes universally accepted gets assembled (Other than Mac OSX).

Microsoft looks ready to launch Windows 11
Microsoft keeps hinting at a new version of Windows.
