If they launch a subscription that includes ad-free Win12, Office, OneDrive and GamePass for like $20 a month, a lot of people would actually be happy about the change. Especially if the base version of Win12 was free with ads.

Then once people are happy with how good the deal is, they start raising the price and removing things that were once included.
