From slashdot:
The October issue of Wired magazine takes a look at Ray Ozzie’s work with Microsoft. To hear the article describe it, he’s rebuilding the company from the ground up. A 70,000-employee company is quietly changing its ways by thinking of software as deliverable services that perhaps could be rented on a monthly subscription basis.
Вот так вот. Раньше софт просто покупали, теперь платят ежегодно, а потом будет по подписке, с ежемесячным платежом. Как ЕГАИС :)
Нам такой софт, прямо скажем, не нужен.
