The base piece of software for your computer being tied to a subscription is unacceptable, period.
Subscriptions are already too heavily pushed and for the most part are just being used to eek more money out of people.
I'm sure this subscription will also get mixed with the ads systems they are bolting into Windows and that stuff is already unacceptable.
Microsoft is treating the market as cattle to farm money, their behavior quite frankly has strayed into morally reprehensible. "Cooling jets" is not necessary, breaking up Microsoft is.
