Maybe a bit controversial but I am fine with business products being subscription based as their income depend on it and they get priority support quite often. I work with SAP products so that's what I am basing it on. Kinda same feeling for something like adobe commercial licences but the problem is with the extremely high cost, hidden fees and other shenanigans. The only subscription that I have is Tuta and Addy which I find reasonable. I would probably be getting a subscription for music and videos as well if any of them were actually good, reasonably priced and somewhat ethical for business standards.

Yay, a likeminded person!

For Microsoft I fully understand that they’d rather have a subscription model for Windows. After all you’re getting updates every fortnight and critical patches ASAP. I wonder they let you buy their shit for so long.

Just in case someone brings it up—and someone will bring it up regardless—: I’m not defending their recent enshittification and “always online” mindset.
