- Lochhead obviously is the one not listening to customers. Despite all the hype over the ASP model, it's clear that both consumers and corps don't want to buy software on a "continual payment" basis. Like anything else we buy, we'd rather pay a *fair* price once and be done with it, while continuing to use the product as long as it lasts. Can you imagine "pay per wear blue jeans"? Why in he** should we pay monthly for an operating system? No, the real issue is that much software has become "good enough" and vendors don't truly innovate to provide a compelling reason to upgrade.
