Of course, Microsoft has been asking for your credit card information for transactions via your Microsoft Account web page for ages now. And what should we find in it? Why, Windows 11 now asks for your credit card information from inside Windows. Then, a few weeks later, the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22567 for the Dev Channel arrived. It's almost like Microsoft was thinking of business first with this update, and fun with your Xbox games second. Leaving that aside, there is one subscription missing from this new feature - remember what I just said about mischief? - and that's the Xbox Game Pass. That wailing you hear in the distance? That's Windows 11 sysadmins worrying what mischief the hidden features will bring with them.

Windows 11 will get Feature, Web, and Online Service Experience Packs whenever Microsoft wants to update them. Wait? Didn't Microsoft say it was only going to be adding features to Windows 11 once a year? Ahem, yes it did.
Relax, accept that Windows is part of a cloud-based Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) world now. Trust me, it says - having a subscription to our cloud services is a normal part of Windows.

Check it out: look into the Windows 11 Settings menu > Accounts and you'll find a new section called "Your Microsoft account." There, you’ll find your Microsoft 365 subscription status, how full your OneDrive cloud storage is, and other details. With all this in mind, when I look at recent Windows 11 changes, I see clear signs that Windows 11 is the Trojan horse bringing WaaS to everyone - whether you want it or not.įirst, Microsoft sneaked a Microsoft subscription manager into the February 2022 Windows 11 update. (Of course, the difference between home and work is blurring more then ever thanks to the growing work-from-home movement.) And, while Microsoft loves its business customers, it still likes its home sales, too. But these are all more business than consumer plays. Or, if you want more control and features, there's Windows 365 Enterprise or Azure Virtual Desktop. Today, you can already subscribe to the easy-to-use Windows 365 Cloud PC. Microsoft has been moving users to this Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) model for years now. So, what is Windows 11's point? I think it's to slowly get you used to the idea of Windows as a Service (WaaS).
But, spoiler alert, most of those improvements were already in the Windows 10 20H2 release (the October 2020 Update). My reasoning was that it came with compatibility problems and really added nothing to Windows 10. I've called Windows 11 a pointless upgrade.
