Windows Home is to Microsoft, as Chrome is to Google.
Microsoft hasn't charged consumers for upgrades to Windows for years - and surely that is because they expect to profit from advertising.
The same can pretty much be said for Windows Pro and small businesses. Why is there no subscription to Windows? Why can't I pay to get 3 more years of security fixes for Windows 7 however an enterprise can?
advertising yes, but also why they are kind of lax on piracy: the real money is in corporate, so you have to keep people using your ecosystem at home so that’s what they want to use at work
