[the nitty-gritty facts 'n rumors reside toward bottom of post.]
how to use the above poll:
basic
basic+
pkg#1
pkg#2
pkg#3
footnotes:
* customer's own choice
** surface-tablet: Microsoft and IBM in a deal to push Surface devices to enterprises
*** click series of three keystrokes … and every datum on master-drive gets overwritten with 0's or dummy-text.
p2p implies two computers communicating with each other.
couple things to keep in mind:
basic and pkg#1 editions are mostly for private single person … the packages in between are for husband/wife couple (two room-mates, etc) … the enterprise edition (pkg#3) is meant for whole house … or those wanting executive privileges.
scenario:
if husband and wife and each of three children had computers in their house … each would probably need license for pkg#1 … and a single enterprise edition would be necessary to tie everything together. why pkg#1 … because most kids love playing nintendo/xbox games and listening to music … etc.
nitty-gritty:
while the content (prices/plans/options) of the poll above is fictitious … this nitty-gritty is the real thing.
this past july … microsoft confirmed they will start imposing monthly subscription fees. at present time, only for the one certain echelon/tier of their enterprise model … however, this may very well catapult to include everyone using windows operating systems.
according to one source … microsoft's total revenue for 2015 (fiscal-year) was $93.6b … after everything's said and done … net profit was a purported $12.2b
they've already been charging for office-365 as well as azure … and now, some of win-10. according to one source: "70 million people pay to use Office 365 every month". so … where does it all stop?
disclaimer:
this poll was created for dynamic aesthetics and entertainment folly only … i am, sadly, lacking in facts, knowledge and prescience. a typical scenario might seem outlandish … and may/mayn't figure into the real world accurately. however … life is not, nor will it ever remain, static … it is always evolving and always changing. same goes for economics and politics.
i thought "windows-news" region was the most diplomatically acceptable … hope the public is agreeable.
i also wish to thank fellow member Ron Leinweber Anniversary update problem for opening my eyes to microsoft's grand scheme.

how to use the above poll:
this includes only one license.
the amount is a monthly recurring subscription charge.
this is for your own personal computer or home environment (non-commercial).
you are entitled to make two choices.
poll closes in 31 days (but might end up being extended).
choosing "no windows os" might infer the user wishes to use unix … open-bsd … or other operating system(s).
pls feel free to offer comments/conjecture below.
the content (prices/plans/options) of this poll is fiction … so, have fun!
