Yeah it's hard to say what form a subscription might take. I hope it's for a developer version and they leave home alone. Actually I hope it doesn't happen at all but who am I kidding? I expect to be paying a subscription for DLSS in 5 years. What I can easily imagine happening is that a base version of Windows will be free and they'll teir the available features and services through the subscription. They don't want to lose their dominance in the market.
