It seems like I might be misremembering, but I recall hearing about something similar a long time ago. This service doesn’t charge for Windows 10—it’s essentially a way for Microsoft to offer regular technical assistance. It shouldn’t affect everyday users.
These pieces focus on business users, though I suspect Forbes didn’t explicitly mention that detail. Windows 7 won’t receive support after January 2020 for regular customers, but companies can buy yearly maintenance plans to keep using it for up to three years, with prices rising each year to encourage moving to Windows 10. The talk about Windows 10 subscriptions also refers to Managed Desktop, a paid version tailored for businesses, and won’t impact home users at this time. Even if it reaches consumers, it’s likely offered separately from standard one-time licenses.
Microsoft is gathering and selling a large amount of information about you, even when you disable certain settings. Windows 10 can act as spyware.
