Has anyone heard of the subscription fees for Windows XP yea

Wondering if this is true and if it is what will the yearly charge be? Also will this be started once windows xp is released?

 

Thanks

I think it's going to just be for businesses, or I'm gonna be pissed.

It's a nice thought, but I don't see it as a good thing. I don't think all software has to be subscription-based, especially your OS.

DosFreak had some good points in a different post around here, but I forget where under the XP section, and is pretty recent.

I don't know about you, but I don't like buying my OS with strings attached that I can't cut. MS has enough money, and while I like businesses to do well, I don't think this is for the consumer's benefit.

heheh. If the lastes IE crashes your OS do you get a refund then?
