Microsoft has applied for a patent for a “pay-as-you-go” computing model, reports CNET News.
The plans calls for a reseller to supply the machine at little cost and for the user to pay for the time and performance levels used. Each of the various options would have a cost associated with it. It notes the consumer or business could wind up paying more for the computer, but gain an extended “useful life.”
The company filed for the patent on June 21, 2007; it was published Christmas Day.
