How long before we will have to pay a fee to a software or computer company for the products, services and advertising we use them for?

I read somewhere that was what the next iteration of MS Office would be, and I ran into a Corel customer satisfaction survey (I use WordPerfect) that indicated they were considering going the "paid subscription service" route -- so you might not be too far off.

‘”paid subscription service” ‘——Yep. Corel in the Clouds. Wonderful, instead of $60 for software, yeah get to purchase a sub for year.
