    Lmao, no.

    They don’t want users using this, it would be a mess. M$ would need to provide consumer facing OS support if they ever tried it, which is something they’ve vehemently refused to do for decades. It would also lead to their OS being blamed as the problem when the internet is having issues. Not to mention the consumer market isn’t really where they get their revenue from when it comes to OS sales.

    They want enterprise subscriptions. End of story. Enterprise subs mean there’s an enterprise IT team involved, to at least a bare minimum extent.

    They aren’t likely to want end users on this pretty much ever. It’s virtually all downside for them.

          I’m CoPilot can come up with a great answer to that. /s

          You have a point. But as someone else said, if X% loss of users mean Y% more profit, if could still be worth it for them. (The loss of users here are those with bad internet. The rest of the userbase with good enough internet would continue as normal.)
