This week “Microsoft Monday” features news about a rumor circulating about monthly Windows charges, an update on the Surface Go, Skype Classic not being phased out yet, the Movies Anywhere integration and much more! Rumor About Monthly Charges Related To Windows 10 Last week, Forbes contributor detailing a trail of breadcrumbs that indicates that a monthly fee could be implemented to maintain the Windows 10 operating system. Citing a report by, Kelly pointed out that Windows 10 may soon have a Microsoft Managed Desktop feature, which will include a monthly fee for configuring computers running on Windows 10 and to ensure a smooth software update experience. Microsoft currently charges for a subscription bundle, which includes Windows 10 and Office 365 called Microsoft 365 and Windows 10 Enterprise. It is rumored that the subscription model will be applied to businesses initially. “Microsoft already has a number of the pieces in place to make this happen” such as a Windows Autopilot automatic device provisioning service, device financing programs like Surface Plus and a ‘Surface as a Service’ leasing program,” wrote Foley in the report. Foley said that one of her contacts said that Bill Karagounis is going to be in charge of the Microsoft Managed Desktop program.

Surface Go Update Last week, Microsoft began accepting pre-orders for the Surface Go through Amazon and other third-party retailers. And now it is available through Microsoft’s online store directly. You can buy the Surface Go for a price of $399 in the U.S.

And there is a 128GB model with an Intel 4415Y processor and 8GB of RAM for $549. And the reviews of the two-in-one Surface Go laptop so far have been mostly positive: “It’s $680 to get the version that I think would work best for most people, which is significantly more than the $330 base iPad but significantly less than an iPad Pro with a keyboard.

It’s about what you’d pay for a pretty decent middle-of-the-road Windows Laptop or maybe even a used Surface Pro,” wrote Dieter Bohn of. “Comparing the Surface Go to any of those devices quickly leads you to build a big pro-con list, one that is very personalized to your particular software needs.” Skype Classic Not Being Phased Out Yet The Skype team has decided not to phase the Classic version (Skype 7.0) of its app yet. A few weeks ago, Skype was planning to shut it down on September 1st, but decided to push it back due to user outcry. As part of that plan, users would be required to be using Skype 8.0 on Windows.

Our customers can continue to use Skype classic until then,” said a Microsoft spokesperson.
