For the average consumer, this would help Apple and Google out more than anything. **People want what they know. **

Exactly, which is why this will probably work, do you really think the average consumer that's used to Windows is going to switch to Mac when they can just pay 5$/month instead? Lol

As long as the price isn't ridiculous like 50$/month or some shit, the average consumer is just going to pay it lolol
