Default Windows Isn’t a Service;=?iso-8859-1?Q?It=E2= System

“Windows as a Service” is failing. It’s obvious: Windows is not a service, and never was. It’s a desktop operating system, and it doesn’t need updates every six months. Even iOS and Android only get significant updates once per year.

I once got a notice saying that they needed to do a big download, and
they did, about five hours. It worked well. I had probably messed up
my machine because it wasn't powerful enough for World of Warcraft. It
is much quicker now.

Interesting comments to that article, as on here many are pretty
clueless but a few realise that MSFT gets little revenue from users
of earlier versions of Windows; running it as a service is one way
to generate ongoing revenue, and that seems fair enough.
