With updates being pretty much essential due to the Microsoft model of shipping software that is broken and/or unfinished, we're perilously close to that already. But it's nothing new: IBM was using "software leasing" concepts ages ago, when they were the ones with the monopoly. Fortunately, and with special thanks to Vista, Linux is looking better all the time.
