New Windows 11 test build wants your credit card info

Microsoft considers the additional credit-card info as part of the
subscription option it added last month. Now, if your subscription risks
falling through because of an expired credit card, Microsoft will alert you.

Conceptually, however, it implies that your PC is as much a tool to make
purchases as it is to simply work and game.

Those transactions were previously performed via your Microsoft Account web
page, which manages all of that online and behind the scenes via Windows 11
Settings > Accounts > Your Microsoft account.

Holy Koolaid, batman.

"Recurring billing: $99.99 per month".

Yikes. Stockholders send their hugs and kisses.

$1200 a year buys a lot of hard drives.

That was the first thing I noticed in the picture.
Looks more like an M365 account that has 1TB storage.
M365 with included 1TB - an additional 1 TB is $9.99 per month(for 2 TB
total)

No M365 plan(Personal or Family)then the max additional for the
plain-jane-vanilla-flavored MSA is 100 GB at $1.99 per month or $19.99
per year.
If a business(using OneDrive for Business, no M365 plan Home or Business
subscription related), then 1TB is $5.00 per user/mo Plan #1 or for
additional security features businesses can opt for Plan #2 for $10.00
per month.

I.e. the 'dude's picture in the article is wrong or outdated or a
snapshot of a group of multiple accounts to a single organization, not a
single user-dude.
