the spot watch was *very* different than a smar****ch of today. it was

business model was a yearly subscription. users don't want that.

Adobe agrees. The subscription business model will never work.

adobe doesn't make watches.

try to stay on topic.

The topic is business models. Your words, not mine.

nope. the topic is the microsoft spot watch.

the *entire* paragraph above is about the spot watch. the rest of the
thread is about smar****ches.


My next heart attack will cocme whn you admit to being wrong.

BTW: The subscription model doesn't work with cars, either.

nonsense. many people lease cars.

Most cars are just a tad larger than a watch.

so what?

apartments are larger than cars and there's a *huge* market for people
who rent them.


Get your sarcasm meter fixed.
