Challenging the Current Console Business Model
,----[ Quote ]
| The PC industry is already moving to another model. Microsoft Office is a
| very expensive ($499 for a one off copy of the professional edition),
| heavyweight package of software. Yet probably 99% of its features are not
| accessed by most users. Google (GOOG) is now offering pretty much the same
| features in it’s Google Apps, the big difference is that they sit in a remote
| server and your PC is just a terminal. Oh yes, and they only cost $50 per
| year for the top Premier Edition.
