Granted, but you have to watch an ad every time you open an app.

We're almost there already, MS serves ads on the Windows lock screen and sometimes they sneakily install bloatware with updates, like Candy Crush and Titok. Having to watch ads before opening apps doesn't feel too far off.

Granted! Windows Desktop becomes so popular that it takes all 100% desktop market share! Microsoft takes the opportunity to begin requiring a Windows ‘subscription’ with the lowest plan being $60 a month with ads

All in all, not too bad of an ending.

Granted. Nothing changes.

Granted. Office furniture with an opening glass panes become quite popular. The windows desktop is a must have for any up and coming management staff.

Granted, everyone has their computers themed based on Windows.
