From what I've read of it, it rather looks like an applicaton-file server with
a licence server: it will use YOUR cpu and memory, but .net will get money
every time you decide to launch (and download, unless cached) an application.

This way, USERs won't stay with WinWord 2.0, but will automatically be updated
to the lastest versions (new bugs and fee included).

(P.S.: I do not like the idea !!!!)
