I don't think i need to explain how it works, should i ?
only through private ownership of property and capitalist competition can good ideas emerge and be adopted
Where’s my sandwich?
Write FOSS next, quickly!!!
FOSS!
Was that quickly enough?--
They're onto it already with a few apps surprisingly...
Windows when?
Yeah, I know, but like imagine they pivot their full business model to foss.
Lol
Step 1: Release cool FOSS apps and gain popularity.
Step 2: The apps are still FOSS, but now most of the cool features are actually proprietary and running on the company's servers. <--- we're here right now
Step 3 (soon-ish): "Since our customers love our proprietary features so much, we're no longer maintaining our FOSS version. Subscribe to our new pro subscription to continue accessing the apps"
Honestly MS doesn't even both hiding the fact that they want to you to use Windows so they can sell you subscriptions to proprietary software and the cloud.
To drop a feature means to get rid of it. Words have meaning, guys
Hint: :q!
