MS pay-per-use PC patent already rejected
I'm sorry, but who in their right mind would even use a Pay-per-use
PC in their home or office when hardware is cheap and great, free
OSes are available (Linux/BSD).
It's been Bill Gates' wet dream for years. Let them develop it, that
by itself will trigger a massive uptake of Linux. These days when
people hear about the friend of a friend using linux they dont really
care - its not windows but does the same. So what? When they're paying per
use for their PC and they hear about this thing that does the same but
without the pay per use they'll take more interest.

Welcome back. Good to see you're still as full of it as usual.

Where is the proof of this "wet dream"? Where is the proof of it being
implemented as MS only?

Besides, pay to play already exists. It's called "Internet Cafes". And I
have not seen one yet with Linux installed. Probably because in the past
the flash support was so poor. Could be a goer now.


While I have no proof, I do remember something about this quite awhile back (years). Definitely remember it coming from MS. It had nothing to do with Internet Cafes. It may have been on the heels of the pay-as-you-go cell phones.
