    Guessing this will probably be the first step into MS changing Windows into a web service and offering a monthly or yearly subscription price for it.

    Test the biggest clients first with a subscription program in order to get the software they need and if they go along with it. If they do the next step will probably be to eliminate sending the discs out period and only offering it as a web service thereby pretty much eliminating any chance of piracy.
