There was a service that enables streaming of Office (in Australia, IIRC) and
Microsoft recently decided to 'crack down' on it, claiming it was infringing
on the EULA's terms. The news appeared in some places last week.
I suspect that Microsoft will use its ownership to shoot down any
such 'disruptions' (as in disruptive trends). It disrupts the revenue made
though one of the very few products that show profit.
