Windows 10 to be the Last One of ‘Windows’

[Desmond]

Its possible that Microsoft might be trying to roll out its own Linux, probably just like what Red Hat is doing. They have been working with the open source community for sometime.

Probably a new direction for the company under Satya Nadella.

Another thing MS can do it make Windows Open Source. At least the older versions.

The reason this is happening is money and only money.

Wall-street likes the concept of assured recurring revenue. Once Microsoft release its Windows and office subscribers numbers, the MS stock price will go crazy nuts. This has been showcased by other companies such as Adobe, amazon.

I think salesforce success convinced many CEOs to go this way.

Windows going open source.

Its very hard to make open source windows. The reason is there are lots of 3rd party code in Windows OS and Microsoft will have to pay heavily to these 3rd party companies. These 3rd party dont give a sh1t about open source. They want their money.

But its a possibility, if making Windows open source makes more money than currently, then they will do it.
Making it open source is a huge engineering effort...

It will cause too many patent issues, small, big developers and lawyers crying for money and credit.

Linux replacing windows ?
Not going to happen, all those windows apps have been created over 20 years, like photoshop, can't recompile to linux in 1 day. It will take many years.


only money matters, no body is going to fund porting 3ds max, direct x to linux.

The Windows kernel and some assorted system level DLLs are basically what makes up the meat of windows. Its not a huge engineering effort, they just need to release their source code to the public and the public will take care of the rest. The only reason they won't do that anytime soon is because they have a lot of trade secrets embedded in the code.

No one uses 20 year old applications unless those are in legacy systems.

Everything that Windows can do Linux can do better these days. Hell, even DirectX applications can be run using Wine. However, once Mantle or Vulkan come out, graphical performance on Linux will be on par with, if not better than DirectX.

I work on shockwave, its 30 years, before most of us born, its used by more than 500 million people. if you know c programming and see the source code, you will be shocked .. surprised and amused how the developers created tools which later turned out some other tools .. can't tell more without giving out stuff
Even photoshop has 20 year old code
Same goes with Windows and other popular tools!

You guys r not on point, its not like this will be the last window's, Microsoft have finally decided to go on subscription way like adobe did in past. From window 10 they will be selling windows via yearly subscription package so no one time payment n done thing and during that period they will provide all update how minor or major they maybe.

- - - Updated - - -

N cloud does not mean that ur os will be on cloud, it will still be on the system but the authentication methods will change. I was part of the tech team when adobe decided to move from one time payment to subscription model. But still even though not all wanted to go for subscription so they did introduced the one tw payment model for companies etc who own large quantities of software. So in the beginning It will be quite hectic so in order to solve that mixrpaodtt is doing this ans via this method they will have info about all the system who r pirated for now so that they can force them to subscribe.
