IF there is going the be a subscription based windows version, it's most likely going the be the cloud version of Windows 11

at this point is there even a reason to use windows? I genuinely want to know from windows users, why are you still on this operating system?

for many years (since windows 8.1) I switched to using only linux (and at times macos), and I have never regretted my decision; what keeps you using this hellish platform?

You can already purchase Windows through a subscription. Windows Business and Windows Enterprise are 365 subscription based editions.
