Don't need another way to waste money
I've already spent money on software. Don't need yet another way for MS to charge me again for it.

Not really interested in software as a service from MS or Google. Copy of MS Office 2k still has too many features.

MS should concentrate on things like securing Windows and Internet Explorer. You know, actually providing value to all the people who spent billions on their software already.

Google should concentrate on telling the truth about its massive data mining operation. Just admit that all your so called services are just better ways to build profiles on people so you can throw more/better ads at them.
