"Pay once, use forever?" Really?
It sees to me that once I've spent the $$$ for the software, there are other substantial costs to keeping it running...
Despite one's best efforts to diligently run virus scans, defrag utilities, registry cleaners, and the like, entropy takes it's inevitable toll. Then, time to "FLATTEN & RELOAD" the system. I just don't tithe these payments to uSlop, but they're payments all the same.
If the subscription model substantially reduced those costs, it might even be worth it. Pity it won't.
