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.

Personally, I'll switch full time to Mac OS before I ever touch any flavour of Linux. What's wrong with Linux? You have to buy a new machine for Mac OS X.
