A whole lot of folks have DVDs as movies and VGs and do not foresee throwing them away. This also (lack of DVD drive) on coming computer models soon, in our challenged economy, has another side to it.
MSFT did the same with XP software, which through Indies developer SW sold through magazine included CDs, upgraded XP add-ons that very greatly expanded the reach and depth of XP SW use.
What the cloud does is take away the means for the individual and group or business, to possess knowledge physically without MSFT and 'other organizations' being able to watch over-the-shoulder
and then in turn sell personal data for a profit (without the free consistent of those using its SW and cloud).
Like electronic money, and 72-80 month car payments the consumer
is alienated from ownership as actual possession of the object free and clear. This is a fundamental change in social order and free will. We become renters, whether we like it or not.
MSFT, as do other SW and communications means and business means, now become our ruler in effect. Probably most of you will hardly understand what this means (or even care).
Why do you think anyone would give you something 'for free'?
Do you give others something for free? You can't 'give free'.
MSFT will now sell our data trails (at a minimum) and we will have to like it. MSFT will make huge and continuous profits selling our key-strokes and site visitation and thus our thoughts for a profit. We will become techno-serfs, something to grind electron profits from as they will.
The cloud IS Sky-Net's real and true beginning.
The Fed injects imaginary out of thin-air 'buys' into the stock market that has the resting place of your pensions. Another over-load control situation.
Big changes coming to funny-land near you.
Lets see how many reach out and take the free 1yr. roll-over to Windows 10. The fate of MSFT stock price rests with that decision. The telling buys of Wind 10 will hardly be of save-the-world organizations sponsored freebies. It will be those like HLS and DOD and large corporations . . . that admire the Matrix citizenry. Or, can they afford to upgrade?
Lets us sit and watch and see how far the big hedge funds can drive MSFT stock price up . . . if the fish come to the Net.
Have any of you ever ask yourself why do we not get paid every time we post in the new jobless (and income) less economy and society? You can't make a society with the unemployed siting in their parents basement playing free-mium VGs.
Or, is this the New Democracy and Republic?
This is not a battle between socialism and capitalism.
It is a battle between Free Enterprise and Private Enterprise.
