Thanks. Of course, the idea itself is widespread, such as in some of the
discussions at http://www.opensource.org/advocacy/jobs.php

It should be noted that some people use the catchphrase "software
service" or "software as a service" to just mean  the now-commonplace
application service provider (ASP) model (the model of e.g.
http://salesforce.com/  - bet that "No Software" logo would annoy
certain people), but ASPs are obviously not exactly what I was talking
about (not precluded by what I was talking about, either, mind).

Already there. I believe it helps in reasoned argument if the other side
can demonstrate some comprehension of your points.  I have this nagging
feeling that was absent, deliberately or otherwise, from certain
replies to my posts.  :-)
