You jest, but I believe several companies are making serious moves in 
this direction. The idea is that the "software" exists on their servers, 
and is never installed on your machine, and you "rent" the right to 
access this software for X days for a given fee.

I'd like to say it'll never become popular, but...

It was sort of like Windows 98, except... something was wrong with it. 
Personally, it wasn't until I encountered a machine actually running it 
that I discovered why it's so hated. It looked like 98, but... every 
week I had to remove several hundred viruses from it, and it would be 
behaviour strangely in one way or another... very odd.
