USER POLL

What do you think of the subscription model of buying software? That is, where you pay a periodic (say, monthly) fee instead of buying the software outright.

It's great - the periodic payments are cheap and the software is always up to date

4.4%

It gives me greater flexibility

2.9%

It's good because it reduces piracy

It's a rip off - it costs more in the long run

58.8%

I feel more secure having the software on physical media that I "own"

26.5%

I don't buy software

7.4%
