There is no such thing as a free lunch. What does Microsoft get out of
all of this?
Articles claim Microsoft is now looking at Windows 10 as a Service. What
does that mean? To me it might mean it will be just another way to suck
up info on what you do with your Windows device up to a mothership in
the cloud, that mothership analyzing that data and selling it to the
highest bidders, perhaps targeting you for custom ads, like the
robocalls on the phone you get when you sit down for dinner.
