The market is called ASP (Application Service Provider).
It is big. It's not going away. It will happen.
MS is moving in the direction- the company has spent hundereds of millions
the last few quarters buying/contracting network access providers.
One day MS will offer subsciptions to MS Office from a secured portal.

Subject: FLASH: Kinda OT - MS costs?


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.

Ben
