   That and Windows is still a huge cash cow for MS.  Their "pay to play" Office   
   subscription plan isn't going as well as they wanted as many people are not   
   electing to upgrade or are going with OpenOffice/LibreOffice.   
      
   This is as much about the company's profitability as it has to do with W10   
   being accepted as much as XP or Windows 7 by the Windows community.
