You are right that I mean better accountability in SLA, but I was also thinking to about quality that is not in the software itself, but rather from customer service and accountability of those developing the software. ( http://roniburd.blogspot.com/2008/07/comments-on-quality.html )

Interesting thoughts Dare. I've actually had a small thesis a couple of years back on a graduate course called "technology innovation" where the Innovators Dilema was required. SaaS as a place, but I'm not ready to call packaged software dead. Maybe the medium is dead, but not the business model itself. I think there are still opportunities for this. Left my thoughts in http://roniburd.blogspot.com/2008/07/saas-thoughts.html (although I drifted towards the end)

You've pretty well set out the challenge for software vendors. To follow up on Bob Denny's post, the next (mainframe) iteration might be systems with Amazon S3 and the Google and Microsoft(?) equivalents as their back end. The customers get the advantage of predictable (99.9% :-) service delivery and the vendor gets the upfront configuration and license fees.

(using RSSBandit :-)) - How many times I've seen the "mainframe and terminals" rise and fall over the last 40+ years of my computing life. We'll see....
