    <p>Interesting comment from Chris Caposella from Microsoft, "…Windows 10 is a service…"&nbsp; I guess that makes it official.&nbsp; I wonder how long before they start to monetize that with a monthly or yearly charge for the "service".&nbsp; My guess would be within 24 months.</p>

      <p>why would that do that? Windows 10 generates revenue each time a Windows device (above 8" screen) is sold.</p>

    <p>I feel the interviewers failed to step up to the plate and really challenge Chris Capossela on the user-unfriendly and downright deceptive way they crammed Windows&nbsp;10 down peoples throats. Microsoft listens to users, really?</p>
