This is an interesting idea. I guess it all depends how much you use your computer and how much this "pay as you go" service really costs. It probably isnt a bad idea in the sense that technology drastically changes each year. You know as well as I do that you can get a computer twice as fast as the one you just bought or built last year. For those who always want to keep up with the latest and greatest, this might be a good thing as long as the price is reasonable. I would look at this more like a lease which already exists to some extent. I guess I wouldn't mind this form of technology as long as people can still build and buy computers without the pay as you go method. Let the consumer decide which way to go. I do think the idea is interesting but im not so sure id be a good candidate for it since I am constantly on the computer. What I dislike most about this pay as you go service is that it sounds like it is applied to the software that you use as well. It could get ugly and confusing to new and existing computer users in my opinion.
