The question is, what will subscription get you.
From the COO's talk to investors:
But, we're able to have coopetition, a new word that we're continuing to learn the exactly what it means and how we are able to create swim lane clarity around.
Zero-royalty on nine-inch and below devices . . . You're seeing $99 Windows tablets, embracing and extending the ecosystem by lighting up some of these new business model scenarios, allowing us to monetize the lifetime of that customer through services and different add-ons that we're able to be able to incorporate with that solution.
Office and .NET going cross-platform, very important for us, again, to embrace and extend and I'm excited about those changes, being able to run on iOS and Android, as well as our own platform.
So, what you'll get is the "Embrace & Extend" treatment.
Extinguish is on hold for now, I guess, until they see how Embrace & Extend goes.
