That might work somewhat in the business world or in applications where there are constant upgrades. But for gaming, it means that when the servers are shut down, you have NOTHING to show for your hundreds/thousands of dollars of investment. And before you say that Microsoft would not let that happen, an exec said during its reveal that backward compatability was backwards. That policy -- taking away ownership -- is not acceptable to me.

Microsoft is officially ending support for Win XP and Office 2003 come early 2014, an OS and application suite that have a far bigger userbase then their game console. I think it would be naive to think that MS will keep their servers active for the XBONE forever.
