Windows as a Service?
I have been thinking alot lately about the evolution of services and how operating systems will make use of them. I was just thinking, what if windows was provided as a service!. Well can you imagine if you can just buy the core OS for something cheaper than 50$ then you start adding on features that you want when you need them :).
Well what if parental control for example was a paid service rather than a feature in vista, well how many of us don't have kids or even they are not yet at an age that requires such a feature. Wouldn't it be nice to just pay for the services you actually want? Well it is just an idea that struck me what if also those services were open to third parties to develop :) well i am just thinking if this could be the future of a full service oriented OS.
Anyway this is just an idea i had and wanted to see what others might think, so send your feedback and let me know what you think.
