It's going to be funny to watch their Pikachu face reaction when this decision chases off a good chunk of their users.
The vast majority of users will click okay to any box that says "do this to keep using Windows"
Without even reading it.
People said that about Netflix and their password crackdown… their profits went up.
We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. People didn't jump ship when Windows 8 became the norm (which didn't last long, thankfully), so I'm not expecting the needle to move much over a feature most users will never even know exists. A man can dream, though.
Watching that shit happen honestly probably-permanently embittered me toward consoomer-brains. Shit won't get better til the whole house of cards falls in because of them.
The vast majority of users won't even notice.
