According to some observers, the IT market in the near future introduction of Windows 365 seems unlikely, since Microsoft announced recently that the upcoming Windows 10 will be available for free as an update to home users legitimate version of Windows 7, and 8 (more info here).
The representatives of the Polish branch of Microsoft in an interview with Wirtualnemedia.pl avoided open the question of whether the registration of the name “Windows 365″ is the first step towards a new distribution model of the system. – At this stage we do not have something to share, but as soon as we have, it will divide – stressed Agnieszka Dziedzic, head of PR at Microsoft Poland. – We record a lot trademarków for various purposes, many of these have already been registered do not use, so the mere fact that trademark registration at this time does not mean anything yet – pointed out Agnieszka Dziedzic.
The name of the Windows 365 is similar in construction to the currently offered on a subscription office suite Office 365, which is in the early stages was only available for business users. So it is not impossible that if Microsoft decides to implement Windows in a SaaS model, it will be the first recipients of the recipient of the corporate market, and only then offer will go to home users.
