Wrong. With the subscription, he can laugh all the way to the bank.
Maybe he's locked you into an N-year contract.

One problem with buying is you don't know how long your software will
run. The vendor is under no obligation to keep it working after he
gets your money. I have an expensive copy of TopStyle gathering dust
that won't work under vista.

When rental, it is very clear just how long your program will continue
to work.

What really burns me is vendors who try to SELL me an upgrade to fix
BUGS. He should be paying ME to apologise!
