That’s completely irrelevant for “most software.” What I pay as a company is for the value it provides (and for the people who work on it). For Office specifically the resources are minimal on both sides but it still generates millions for Microsoft, whether it’s native or web based.
- jerf 5y agoYou sound like you think you're disagreeing with me, but that's actually my point. There's no point in charging by a metric so disconnected from either the costs or the benefits of the software. It makes sense for AWS to charge that way, because it is in fact directly connected to how their resources are being used.
