Difference is, most software becomes feature-stable at some point whereas Windows 10 supposedly will not.
The whole idea is there will never be a final release date. Every update will be a release and introduce new bugs as well as fixing existing ones.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Sorry if this has been covered before, heard from various sources (computer mags) there could be a chance of Windows being a subscription program.
Anything heard by others or is it just a wind up.

You do not know what the future brings.
I do not see any press releases saying it will never happen. Please furnish me with such if such exists
Also it is not a lie it was never posted anywhere as canon it was just a theory based on Microsoft future plans. In 14 months time you may very well have to eat your words
One thing for sure is if this is it and Windows 10 is the last name it carries or it switches to just Windows next year when Redstone is pushed and that is it will have to be paid for somehow.
Get Windows free now never be expected to pay for M$ operating system again I do not think is ever going to happen I can see there been "Gold" or "Silver" packages ( see what I did there ? I shown M$ are not adverse to subscriptions lol) but this is just a theory not a lie

but the businesses have to options which means one lets gets patches and feature updates and the other just the patches. They get the upgrades too
So you are telling me M$ are going to sell Windows to businesses and home consumers once they let them just keep upgrading the software for free? that is financial suicide
The only demographic that needs to keep upgrading hardware is the gamer specially now the tech is where it is. A basic computer now has so much power that a hell of a lot of businesses will not need to buy a new machine again for years and years unless one breaks of course. SO buy Windows 10 then not have to buy another OS for what could be decade or longer .
I still think at some point in the not to distant future we will see a subscription based or some sort of annual payment to keep the upgrades going

I asked for your opinion. Do you believe everything Cameron says? or your misses for that matter??
Windows 10 is not going to be subscription based I accept that but there are already 2 new builds on the roadmap one for this year and one for next year. I still seriously think before the end of this decade we will see a new way of paying for windows whether sub based or one off payment based because I can not see how M$ can sustain free operating system development purely on income from new customers.
I have stated why I think this all I want is your opinion on what you think the future holds on this subject

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Microsoft will just make there money elsewhere.
Hardware sales and business supscriptions as well as office sales/subs.
So not charging for windows updates is feasible.
