Microsoft on "Pay as you go" model for PC & software

You can read about this article at ComputerWorld. I recently wrote a comment on this, I'm just posting it here.

Once again MS comes up with an approach of making more money without the necessary effort. How about a good performance on their OS or fewer bugs, or a weight loss program for it? They seem to work overtime on making new themes for the same OS (Vista, Windows 7) & copying everything they can find on the way - Konfabulator widgets (now Yahoo), Google gadgets & of course the Mac OS X for almost everything.

It seems their think tank only has MBAs or Accountants. They lack any kind of creativity. They have never been pioneers in any kind of software or hardware. Mouse - Xerox, Apple. OS - Apple, Zune - ipod Apple, Xbox - PS2, Xbox 360 - PS3 & now muscling their way against Wii by heavy discounts.

How can a giant a$$ company lack any kind of creativity or passion? M$ seems to have a complete wrong mentality. They are too proud to learn from anybody but shameless to copy everybody.
They just play catchup to everybody!
