Talking about Microsoft patents Pay-As-You-Go concept-Microsoft Updates - Technology - MSN India
Recently, Microsoft had applied for a patent for its Pay-As-You-Go computing concept, as pointed out by Gregg Keizer of Computerworld. As per the patent application, users will be charged for using software and computing horsepower while they're on the move. The concept looks interesting, but the practical application would lead to higher costs.
