Dan,

The company I work for tried this model (application service provider .. i.e. you rent the software) and it did not work well at all. The simple fact is that people will always want to "own" both their data and the app that manipulates it. Will some people use this? Yes. Will most use it? No.

Personally, I see the world eventually moving to more desktop apps which use the internet (specifically http/htttps) as a transport protocol for data (think desktop app that talks http/htttps to apache which in turn invokes the requested cgi/servlet to process the sent data and send back a response).

Brian
