FLASH: Kinda OT - MS costs?

[Ben Park]

Hi

This is kinda OT, but it may spread like the virus that it is to other

software....

I recently heard somethinhg about Micro$oft setting up a system with their

software to make you pay so much PER HOUR that you use it. This is a joke

right? Someone tell me it is.


Per Hour - They're already getting a serious beating from Linux (although in

the underground world of computing and only really on the server side of

things at the mo, but Corel Draw and Wordperfect is available for it).


I also heard that Sun were looking at it as well - I mean come on =

Micro$oft might be the type, but Sun Microsystems? Anyone else heard

anything about it?


A mate of mine told me it was in Computer Active magazine here in the UK.
