There are definitely moves in that direction on desktop as well, for sure. Microsoft, Adobe and Autodesk are some of the big names that traditionally made expensive business software and increasingly rely on subscriptions (and bulk licensing for larger businesses, though in itself that's nothing new). No doubt there are many smaller players trying to follow the same path, though I find it interesting that other smaller players are starting to compete based on not having the downsides of a subscription. It seems the market is big enough for both variations, at least in some areas.
