    The article addresses literally all of your points. Installing windows would be free for oems so it’s actually good for them, and MS would probably offer a free tier with ads for end users who don’t want to pay.

    To me that’s completely believable and sounds exactly like something MS would do.

      Probably AD free+AI features are behind subscription, and in sense I would be Ok with it.
