2. On the rent-to-rent furniture...

When we moved my grandmother out of her home a few years ago, I was looking at her bill. AT&T (formerly Ma Bell) was still charging her $19.99 a month for a telephone lease contract... on a phone that had bit the dust a decade before, not to mention that should have ended in 1984. Yeah...renting to rent...

Hadn't heard of 365.

Thanks.

6. It really depends on what's important to you.

for folks who always need the latest version, cloud stuff would supposedly get continually updated according to the companies that sell it.

Also, if you only need it temporarily, it works out cheaper than purchasing it just to use a few times.

Cloud really shines at the enterprise level because you can quickly add and remove users easily as needed, like scale up for a project and then scale down when it ends. The stinginess for licenses can get ridiculous at some companies who are obsessed with cost cutting. There are some applications that are installed only on a shared workstation and you have to schedule an appointment to use it.

9. Brilliant!

I really hate all te new software marketing.
When I buy something I expect it to be mine.
