I personally am sick of recurring expenses. I'm being subscribed to death. It seems like everyone wants a piece of me, monthly.
I love the idea of Siruis/XM radio but I'm not buying because the last thing I need is another monthly bill. The only reason I have a TiVo is because they offered the lifetime subscription.
Let me pay up front for my software and hardware and I'll own it until it's doesn't work for me anymore.
If I have to pay every month, quarter or year just to run Bill's software, you can count me out. Count my family out too because I'll suffer the pain of switching them over to open source/free software.
