You don't own your copy though, you're essentially leasing it. It says so in the TOS.

The AI integration certainly will be: Microsoft's not giving away ongoing AI computation for a one-time purchase of the OS, even though it will be integrated with the Windows 11 OS as soon as the fall upgrades get forced down.

Right now Copilot is free, but that's only until enough people start using it and then they'll paywall it.

Note that Copilot uses the Office 365 framework (Microsoft's subscription model) which should tell people all they need to know about how free Microsoft intends to keep it.
