Filed under: New Technology, Cerebration, Microsoft — timwang @ 09:14:22 pm

As a powerful response to the recent OpenOffice.Org 2.0 release, some Microsoft insiders have revealed the up-coming MS office being hosted as a server/client product. Bill Gates has mentioned about shifting the paradigm from licensed software to software access licenses over the last few years. By charging an annual renewals to the license, users can use Microsoft CRM, ERP and SharePoint products. This will obviously change the paradigm of the software delivery process. Is this a good way to "compete" with the open source products? Or it may open a can of worms which may cause a negative effects from the end users?
