Aligned incentives is a cool insight.
If windows (for example) were on a monthly subscription model instead of a bi-yearly upgrade model, I think a lot of the consumer-facing failures at msft post-win2k wouldn't have happened. They couldn't bundle new features with breaking changes in a gradual-improvement subscription model.
