   3 Nov 2005 ~ 9:39pm Camman I like Microsoft, some would even call me a fanboy (though I'm not really) but I think this is the beginning of the end for them. I don't like these online services, I like buying an physically owning my software to use as long as I like and this software-by-subscription is another ridiculous way to draw money out of people. I use Office 2000, I dont feel I need to upgrade to Office XP and I certainly don't think I should have to keep paying to use it "but oh you get these sweet updates" good, my old version works fine, I don't need to "subscribe" to keep using it.
