Pay-As-You Go Apps – Microsoft’s Way Sort of
Microsoft seems to be catching up on the apps market but with one very unexciting aftertaste, it still costs a lot of money. At $15 per month for business apps or enterprise apps, or a $3 for each app it still costs an arm and a leg to get. That may be something really business oriented people and organizations may be willing to pay for, the bad part is that after they announced the release of their apps store, they released a tech bulletin that for stuff to work out right, you need to get some compatibility issues that was more or less loosely tied to VISTA, their failure of an operating system that has been the scourge of many a desktops the world over.
Microsoft is a newcomer and mistakes are inevitable so people might say, cut them some slack. Life is getting a bit more difficult to big businesses who have failed ot adopt more open systems such as those based on open-sourced systems that are not only cheaper. There may still be some way to go before they get it right but common people, Vista?
