Channel partners are breathing a sigh of relief after the software king of the world, Microsoft, revealed that its comping Windows 12 will not be subscription-based.
Windows 12 is expected to be released in 2024 and the dark satanic rumour mill has been manufacturing a lot of rumours claiming it would be subscription-based.
After introducing “Windows as a Service”, reports suggesting that the next Windows will be subscription-based have started to surface online. Microsoft introduced Windows as a Service to provide customers with a consistent Windows 10 experience.
A Windows Central report suggests the recently discovered references could be linked to the “IoT Enterprise Subscription” edition of Windows 11 rather than the client version of Windows vNext. Furthermore, the publication’s Zac Bowden says the upcoming version of Windows isn’t likely to boast new features that may require a subscription.
Vole is integrating deeper Windows 365 support into upcoming Windows, and the company already charges a monthly subscription to provide access to Windows 365 Cloud PC.
Microsoft also wants to install AI into the next version of its Windows OS. The new OS is expected to carry the Windows 12 moniker and compete with Google’s Chrome OS.
Furthermore, the purported Windows operating system may be web-based. Sources recently told Windows Latest that the tech giant is working on a new version of Windows 11. This newfangled Windows 11 will be extremely lightweight, web and cloud-based,
Microsoft previously developed a lightweight competitor to Chrome OS dubbed Windows 10X, which did not even see the light of day.
