Apparently, Microsoft has come up with the idea to rent out Office 2003 for $15 per month.
I don't get it. Why would you _rent_ Office? Are people really that desperate to a) not pirate the software, and b) not spend that much money? 'cause it doesn't seem to be a rent-to-buy sort of thing.
World, meet OpenOffice?
