I'm going to speak out as a minority voice on this one, so forgive me friends if I politely disagree.
I don't see the difference in paying $500/yr for updates/customer support, or in paying a similar fee for subscription.
I currently lease ALL of my office software systems (Small Business Server, Vista, Microsoft Office Enterprise Edition, and many many more). I lease these programs on an annual basis from MicroSoft. I have no problem with their lease agreement.
MS cannot hack into my computers and uninstall ANYTHING. However, then can allow my programs to lock up if I don't maintain the subscription.
whatever becomes of AC, I trust the administrators WANT our business and will do nothing to alienate their entire 1,800 users. If they do... they go under.
Remember, business is business. Just like out privately run offices, we wouldn't jack up the rates on our patients from $100/visit to $1,000,000/visit, otherwise we lose all clients. then we go out of business.
