Kevin Turner, Microsoft’s Chief Operating Officer (per a Suisse Technical Confrence), discussed a potential subscription package combining Windows 10 with services like Skype and Office 365. He noted it could support ongoing growth and revenue, though it raises some concerns. Thanks to Kitguru for the insight: http://www.kitguru.net/gaming/operating-...n-service/

I question if I'll need to spend money on a subscription.

You're looking for full ownership of the software, not just a rental agreement.

I believe it won't require a subscription. Each nation, including mine, would move to Linux or similar alternatives. About 99% of users here already use pirated Windows. They'd prefer greater availability at reduced costs, making it more accessible for those with limited means.

I dislike subscriptions... If Steam didn’t exist, nobody would use it.

I understand about subscriptions for services like Adobe CC or Office 365. For an operating system, I’m not interested. Let’s go back to Mac.

Unless it's a small fee each month, I’d rather pay it all up once. It seems more likely Microsoft will launch two options—one paying a lump sum and another with a subscription.

A bit more, but still. Not everyone needs Office. I spent around 4500SEK (about 520USD) on my used MacBook. Adding 10USD for the upgrade to Lion made everything else free. With the iWork bundle on my MacBook, I’ve never paid a penny for productivity tools. That’s just my take.
