The big picture.
I've been thinking about all that's been mentioned about the "One version of Windows" and why they are doing it. This is something that just occurred to me. Right now, you have several versions of Windows to chose to install like Windows 7, and Windows 8.1, if you don't want Windows 10. Eventually there will be just one version of Windows. Once Windows Vista, 7 and 8 reach end of life Microsoft doesn't have to support them any more with updates and security fixes. And sales of those versions will stop. There will just be the one version of Windows. The continually evolving OS. If you buy a new device and want Windows on it your only choice is the current offering. No buying last years version etc. You take it or you leave it. They only have to support that one OS, especially if they make updates/upgrades mandatory. There will be no having to convince you to upgrade to the latest version, you will have no choice. It's just Windows. Microsoft will save big bucks by not having to patch several versions of Windows at the same time. Once your in to the new Windows your in for life. Good or bad.
