I think there's a universal shift from 'software' to 'services.' Microsoft doesn't want to sell you Word: they want to sell you the best method of composition.

Microsoft doesn't want to sell you Word: they want to sell you the best method of composition. Microsoft doesn't want to sell you Powerpoint: they want to sell you the ability to make the best presentations. And so on.
- archangel_one 13y agoI don't think they care about that. The reason they're shifting is that they don't want to sell you Word once, then fail to persuade you to upgrade to the next version; they want to sell it over and over which brings a more stable and guaranteed revenue stream.
