Just packing software, collecting money, and then producing a new version a few years later (wheter people want one or not) is no longer a sustainable plan. The relationship with customers must be constant and continuous. Instead of discrete one time transactions, the money - wheter from subscriptions fees or advertising - will flow constantly. For the user, everything will happen when it's needed, as if pulled down from a cloud. (cloud computing)
Ozzy draws the line at the idea that you can do anything and everything in the cloud, that every application can become web-based, that the desktop is dead. Some things, he says, still require local computing, offline persistence, and the control that only one's own desktop processor offer.
