    Is this what MS plans for win8?

    A definition of a metered application (from Wikipedia).

    A method of software licensing where the licensed software automatically
    records how many times or for how long one or more functions in the software
    are used, and the user pays fees based on this actual usage (also known as
    'pay-per-use').

    Or am i wrong?

    thanks,

    Pay a little per use or a LOT up front and purchase out right. Your call.

    I paid a few hundred bucks for my home copy of office and can go weeks at a time and not need it per se.
