Windows 11 / 12 also as a subscription version for normal users? Notes in the Canary
Translated
A Windows subscription version is nothing new for small or large companies. They can book different variants as a Windows 365 Cloud PC. Microsoft is currently in the process of integrating a function to start this cloud version directly via the local Windows via the “Active Applications”.
..rumors arose that Microsoft Windows “12” (or whatever it is called) could also be offered to normal users as a subscription, alongside the usual versions from Microsoft…
.. I stumbled across the slmgr.ini. The slmgr.vbs (example here , or here ) is a function with which you can remove, add, activate or renew the activation of Windows.
..Subscription Edition – (L_MsgSubscriptionEdition)
Subscription Type – L_MsgSubscriptionType (as “Device-Based Subscription” or “User-Based Subscription”)
And the subscription status – L_MsgSubscriptionStatus (Active, Inactive, Deactivated, Expired..One can now speculate what Microsoft has in mind here. But you can assume that in addition to the many AI functions (Copilot etc.), a cloud or subscription version for normal users is also being planned…
Microsoft plans major platform upgrades for ‘Windows 12’ that will modernize the OS with AI, faster updates, and better security
Windows “CorePC” is the spiritual successor to Windows “Core OS.”
* We are already paying for Windows OS (~$50) with every purchase of new PC.
Will we have to subscribe to PC hardware as well ?
