I'm sure we'll find out. Interesting story about changes to Ten. Lots of things will change before 2023...
It's actually in our interest to have more people use Ten instead of 8 before 2023.
It's almost six years away. Maybe corporations will flex their muscles by 2023 and there will be an American version of Ten without privacy issues?
There was someone here posting years ago about negotiating a license for Windows XP for a huge number of PCs for a large Hospital System. The order was so large that Microsoft agreed to remove online interaction which has the ability to disable Windows XP keys Microsoft mistakenly or correctly determined to be illegitimate. And that version of Windows XP, once activated with a key could never be disabled.
I believe the story was that the Hospital System IT guy in charge said 'sure we'll place an order if you agree to compensate us for all costs associated with a hospital computer being deactivated as a result of a mistake by Microsoft servers.'
Microsoft instead removed this "new" feature from Windows XP, just for them.
They can do whatever they want.
They will do *a lot* of good stuff to Ten, lots of good changes before 2023. Ten will be nothing like it was when it was released a couple of years ago.
I am not worried about the switch to Ten, we are not seeing a rapid pace of changes yet because 2023 is so far away and there is zero reason to switch from 8 before then for many companies/people.
But they'll start to worry as we approach the date, this story is first of many, one would hope?
