I, on the other hand, want them to succeed with the Office subscription model.
Nothing will doom them so fast than constant predictable revenue.
In fact, I think this will also help Office alternatives, as they could try a cheaper subscription. Nowadays any Office alternative has to be free, and this means almost no funds for development.
- rednukleus 14y agoIf Office alternatives can't charge a small one off fee, what makes you think they will be able to charge a subscription?
- Shorel 14y agoDifferent business models are evaluated in a different way. A small one off fee is not a viable business model. You either have to charge small recurrently fees, or have a big one off fee to be able to sell to business. AFAIK, Google Apps for Business already charges a subscription for some customers.
