What aggravates me is I can't "own" Office but have to pay rent to use it every year.
Lots of software is going to use their model of rent the software forever. Photoshop started that long ago. More and more programs will get on the bandwagon of rent it, never own it BS, especially the bigger more dominant packages.

One of my old computers was built back in the early days of Win 7. In fact I had to install Vista when I first built it, and upgrade to 7, it has 10 on it now. It is really slow after all the years, and has an old i5 CPU. I have some software we bought back when they came on multiple CDs. Some of those software packages cost mega thousands of dollars and only do a few tasks I need on occasion. So I just get patient, and keep using an antique (for a computer) only because I refuse to pay thousands per year forever to have access to the new stuff.
