Well, I don't think we need to be surprised at this. It's not Microsoft
being underhanded about cash maximization or anything. It's a step toward
their (and other publishers') well-publicized goals for Web-delivered
applications; which, unfortunately, entail all the secondary implications
that Andre' points out.
Perhaps it is time for customers to quit buying into every new idea that
comes out of the computer and software companies, stick with a version that
works for us, and thereby give the smaller software developers a chance to
catch up with the big guys and provide some real alternatives!
