Microsoft has hinted that Windows 10 is a abonnementenmodel. Ceo Kevin Turner said during a presentation that the company is on a other way money to his main product. “And that has something to do with services,” he claims.
The transformation to a abonnementenmodel is not an unusual step for Microsoft. With Office, Microsoft with Office 365 already have a abonnementsversie. On the question of whether Microsoft money is going to lose with Windows, replied Turner, with ‘yes’. “What is at stake, we need Windows different monetization. And there are services involved. There are additional opportunities for us to provide services to the product and that in a creative way,” said the ceo. Turner promises that Microsoft in the first half of 2015, more disclose about the pricing of Windows 10.
By moving to subscriptions, Microsoft wants to start making money on the use of Windows in place of the purchase. At this time, manufacturers all free to use Windows on devices with a screen diagonal of less than 9″. Turner calls the option not to have Windows for all devices for free, but says in a presentation that Toms Hardware discovered, that the business model of Windows 10 will be different.
This he did by referring to the upcoming fortieth anniversary of the company. “The first 39 years of our existence, we have one of the best business models ever built, especially around Windows,” says Turner. “For the avoidance of doubt, this was our past. If you seek our future, look, that’s all about being a Cloud OS.”
Update, 18 march: Microsoft has denied that the subscription model is going to handle with Windows 10.
