Quote from the linked story:

Microsoft is getting ready to replace Windows 10 with the Microsoft Managed Desktop [zdnet.com]. This will be a "desktop-as-a-service" (DaaS) offering. Instead of owning Windows, you'll "rent" it by the month.

It seems to me that Microsoft managers don't have a reasonable vision of the eventual results of their recent ideas for the future.

If Microsoft tries to charge a monthly fee for an operating system, eventually 1) Nations will all gather together and try to buy Windows from Microsoft.
