<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3525229, member: 76194&quot;]Yes, I did think about that last night. It&#039;s true that some software has moved to subscription based models where you don&#039;t own the copy but rather lease it. You can&#039;t do that for all software....for example, I doubt anyone will ever agree to buy a laptop that you have to pay a monthly subscription just to turn on....at least not unless the laptop is &quot;free&quot; up front and the fees low enough to make that option more attractive. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is ultimately up to the consumer to decide if true ownership is worth it or not. If Microsoft Word as a subscription service wasn&#039;t worth it, people would have rejected it. But to most it was worth paying $100 a year for it vs. having to pay $250 for a new copy every two years or two and a half years when you upgrade computers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
