• I agree that the other stores like Best Buy need to adopt this approach. I went to a number of Best Buys to look at the new Zune HD but the Zunes were all at varying levels of being nonoperational. Either they had no power, no content, or they had to be synced to a PC before the device could really be properly demo'd and show all of its features.

• Plus the Michele Obama ape image in question was never meant to be racist as it came from the site http://celebrityape.com/ where celebrities (of all races) were morphed to look like an ape. Just another example of mass hysteria of people jumping to conclusions without looking at all the facts. In reply to: "Crude Michelle Obama image dumped by site owner"

• just like the prophet Muhammad drawing that caused a controversy a year or two ago, no one who is writing about this story has the courage to describe or show the image. In reply to: "Crude Michelle Obama image dumped by site owner"

• I would say programs like Photoshop would be a good fit for what I am suggesting. You may have a point with sensitive data like financial data; however, even with the example you pointed out such companies have not given up hope on the subscription model. Intuit bought Mint.com.
  
  What I am suggesting is that not all of your data is stored on the cloud, but the application itself is store on the cloud. So if you have a bunch of Photoshop PSD files. Those files can still be stored on your hard drive. Although it would be nice if you had the option of storing your files on the cloud along with the cloud software program.

• I disagree with you on the the installed-app subscription model. However, I do agree with you that software vendors will eventually move to a subscription model, but not quite the one you had described.
  
  It is my belief that software vendors will eventually place all their apps on the "cloud". It makes sense with the mentality of software vendors. They write EULAs thinking that the software program that they sell us isn't actually ours to own; we're just renting it in their minds.(The legal courts have disagreed.)
  
  However, if they move all their programs onto the "cloud" and you cannot install them, then they can charge a subscription rate and tell us that the program is indeed theirs to own - not ours. If they do this, then they will finally be right in saying that we do not own the program and are just renting it from them. In reply to: "Let's kill the OS upgrade disc"

• Maybe it's a problem with the hardware and not Windows7. That's the one problem/strength of Microsoft. Unlike Apple, if something goes wrong you can't be too sure it is Microsoft's fault; although, they seem to always be blamed even though it is mostly the fault of the manufacturer.
