"Just get money for a new device out of thin air and just replace all your paid or even cracked Windows software with subscription-based alternatives that will not work without Internet. Ah, also just relearn all your workflows."

- mark-r 9y agoI wasn't suggesting that businesses were anxious to replace things that already work, I'm suggesting that as they acquire new software it's more likely to be web-based. Devices are often replaced on a schedule anyway, especially if they're leased.
