Microsoft - Payasyougo for Windows

*** @ That. I was meerly posting what i found and your instantly fighting lmao at what a fool you've made yourself look like. Oh and sorry i think your forgetting Microsoft are Windows? Lols

Dear o dear. I was infact just posting what i had read. so soz. lols Oh and the bit about them saving money - Microsoft even addmitted it would most likely make the overall cost higher.

Indeed, Microsoft are Windows, but Windows is the operating system and Microsoft is the company. They might not be doing this for Windows OS (they are but it doesn't say so in your post), they could be doing it for Zune software or something.

If it's going to cost more then it defeats the point. But maybe if they used them in Internet cafes or something it would be better...

No - the point is, to make more money. It even says microsoft admitted it is likely be a higher cost. However one advantage will mean its alot easier to get hold of expensive software using a pay as you go system, so you dont have to pay the vast amount of money to buy them.

Also it doesnt say in my post because i provided a link to the full story i had read which explained this?

Hmm thats the good side I suppose... wonder if the PC specs will be good... well, in those undeveloped countries they might share one between a village and everybody can use it for a small price... so the government buys the pc for $300, people pay whatever to use it. Better than the government paying $600.

Windows is a product made by Microsoft, they aren't Microsoft, but I know what your saying.

Also Microsoft are just money grabbing lil' so and so's, however they have come up with some good stuff, and currently the products they are developing look promising.

The Napkin PC which looks amazing (see below) is a product currently being made by Microsoft.

But a Payasyou go service for computing would be rubbish, because if you want internet access on top of that it'll end up being quite costly.

The only upside to this would be someone who doesn't use a computer much, and doesn't have internet access.

I read about this somewhere and they are doing this pay as you go thing for Microsoft Office suite.

And oen valid point someone made on the forum is because theyre measuring it on Hard drive usage, aswell as CPU etc etc, It means they may just create more resource using programmes, as the more resources it uses the more it costs us. I think im right in saying this, dont quote me on it.
