In a bold move towards revamping the methods used to deliver office software, Microsoft may soon begin streaming office software to user desktops. According to Microsoft, this new method would ensure users would only use parts of the Office suite they need, allowing for price calibration and new methods for deploying software across large companies. It would also allow for monthly service charges to be incurred and for product updates to be instantaneously delivered to every office user within a company.
“Streaming software” is not a new concept amongst providers of office and productivity suites. Rather, Microsoft is begrudgingly giving in to providing these offerings as the result of competitors, such as Google, changing office offerings to suit emerging technologies. Undercutting shrink-wrapped software offerings could change the nature of software distribution.
