I guess that personal users are not the only group that balks at paying a yearly fee for software. My question is have you at your job bit the bullet and signed up as an early adopter, or are you rolling the dice and seeing if this experiment fails?" This article focuses only on Microsoft, but the same analysis probably explains why ASPs haven't taken off like they were supposed to, either.

We expect people who run a very popular weblog/discussion site who constantly preach openness and free speech and who also say that the site is self-moderated to actually live up to their word instead of moderating an entire thread of well over 100 posts down indiscrimantly instead of letting the users take care of it themselves.
