I guess Windows is going the way of Adobe there (like photoshop, indesign, you name it).
Install all nice software. Don't pay for a new year? Then the installed software will no longer work.
Soon you can have a Windows subscription

You are of course assuming that Adobe software will work as advertised in the first place.:)Eadwine Rose wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 4:35 pm I guess Windows is going the way of Adobe there (like photoshop, indesign, you name it).

Re: Soon you can have the 'joy' of a Windows subscription
Hey Richb,
Since when has Windows been a distro?
If it were a distro it would be available for download on Distro Watch, which it isn't.
WIKI of Distro = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distro
Webopedia description of Distro = https://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/distro.html

Re: Soon you can have a Windows subscription
A side note: should Windows users be saying "Come back, Bill...Save us!" ?
We all need to consider that without Windows, we might all still be playing "Mattell Intellivision" and enjoying baseball and football...ha ha ha

Re: Soon you can have a Windows subscription
Windows, despite getting lots of flack, opened some doors when it launched. But I do wonder if, in an alternate reality, Linux conquered desktop computing and everyone has their own custom distro that runs the world :)Captain Brillo wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 9:17 pm A side note: should Windows users be saying "Come back, Bill...Save us!" ?

I don't think Linux, or any other OS, for that matter, would have gotten off the ground. Bill Gates moved some huge marketing mountains.

Re: Soon you can have a Windows subscription
Exactly. Marketing and LOADS of funding.
Atari was WELL on its way back when. With a system that could do things that Windows systems could only dream of. My ex was working on DTP with vectors, moving lines around on the screen, designing things.. I was working on Lotus 123 at the time, smacking my keyboard. But where did Atari lack? Marketing, among other things.
Linux will not take Windows' place, there are simply too many varieties available. It's good to have a choice, yes, but that number of choices limits the chances of something becoming main stream. There was only one Windows, and everyone wanted it. No one was confused, Windows was the same Windows no matter where you looked and that has ensured its success.
"Yeah but wait till there is a scandal!"
Need I point out Facebook? Point made.
Personally.. I don't see a world without Windows. Good thing is I don't see a world without Linux either
