I mean, how the hell wouldn't it? What's more surprising to me is that they didn't do this with 11. Everyone is totally used to this model at this point and while we all hate it, it's become the accepted way of living for most tech products now. If you are a big corporation and can get away with making customers rent your product instead of buy it, you are going to make so much more money. Of course they will choose this.
What's laughable is how quickly they're abandoning Windows 11
Eh? 11 has been out for what, 2-3 years now? And it'll likely be supported for another 5-8, easily. This article is talking about a beta version of 12, which means it'll likely be another 2 years before public release. Most enterprise settings won't even bother with 12 until at least a couple years after it's launched.
