Nice read...
As far as reducing the price of PC and laptop devices, well, manufactures currently only cough up about $65 to $95. What itty-bitty pretty ****y savings consumers would get from that would be far offset by the money spent to use it.
What I think we need is the camp inside MS, who presently support moving to a subscription service, to either completely back off, or completely change their nature and offer users a non-subscription license, as we have now, as well. I'd like to think it we will end up in one of these two directions in the future and not have to make any changes, but this thread is to explore the what if reactions if they don't.
