Spiceworks Community Digest: Subscription Windows

Microsoft is considering transitioning advanced Windows features from a one-time purchase to a subscription-based model, with discussions suggesting that the conventional "Pro" edition may be replaced by a monthly subscription service, potentially branded as Microsoft 365 Pro. Currently, Windows 11 Business and Windows 365 Business are already offered as subscriptions. The Spiceworks community has expressed concerns about rising costs and the potential impact on small businesses and individual consumers. The prevailing sentiment is that the shift to a subscription model is likely, but its success will depend on perceived value compared to free alternatives.
