Agreed! Whatever happened to
owning the danged piece of software? I'm all for 'cloud computing', but not if it means I have to maintain a dozen different subscriptions just to keep my PC functional.
What happens if I decide to move to the mountains where there's no broadband? No Word or Excel? Even in urban areas, fewer people than one would think have an internet connection fast enough for cloud computing. I know three people still on dial-up for Bob's sake! In the SF Bay Area!
Anyway, great write-up, Darius. As Jason said, it saved me from having to watch it myself.
