    <p>IMHO Windows 10 S should be free and MS should strive to strive to get revenue through the App Store and other services. I mean, free even to download and install in whatever compatible computer.</p><p>Whoever need the Pro version could install it and upgrade for a fee. </p><p>Design should be an all encompassing effort. From hardware and software to business model.</p><p>It needs a different business model around it that makes sense out of its constraints in relationship with the way people are used to Windows.</p><p>Personally I think people might choose Windows 10 S because they like the Windows experience and there is still very much a mentality that productivity tools equates to Office 360. Yes this looks a lot like Windows RT, but one here has the full power of a PC under the hood.</p><p>PS: I don't get all the fuss about Chrome, I honestly don't.</p>
