Anything you buy via the iTunes or App Stores generates money for Apple, and you can keep buying long after two years (especially from the iTunes Store). > Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, etc. sell limited software licenses on many > products so they keep generating revenue for as long as they're used. > That's why they're still alive long after transitioning from innovator > to maintainer. The monthly / annual fee structure that companies like Aodbe are moving to are indeed designed to try to rake in more money from the casual updater (those who continue to use the same version for many years), but it actually loses them money from those who update frequently ... whether that new structure pays off in the long term remains to be seen.
