Is the Software License dead?
I hope this model is only for Corporate/Business Consumers only. Home consumers would be put off and might quit buying software.

What I would like to see is tha ability to purchase software such as MS-Office, Macromedia DreamWeaver, Adobe Acrobat, Filemaker Pro; and be able to install on my Desktop, and on a Laptop I'd like to buy.

I ould be the only one using either, and not necessarily at the same time other than using same files swapped between the two computers.

I hesiatant on doing that very thing knowing I'm going to fork over another two -three thosand bucks just to be able to work on the same files on both computers.
