Very well written Here are the first lame rumblings from the bald guy in Redmond. Some industry observers said Microsoft is embracing the subscription model very reluctantly as it tries to preserve a major cash cow, Office, which nets more than $3 billion each year. varbusiness.com That MSFT is talking about a retail subscription model, speaks volumes to where M$ fits in to future computing model; a single entity competing AGAIST AT&T, AOL, everyone and their dog, and open standards. Why people expect some kind of master stroke from these guys any minute now, I don't understand. -JCJ
