Should he tailor his tshirt too? It is totaly fine to whine about something without fixing the industry by yourself.

I for one don't like the movement of commercial software to forced cloud integration. Big or small business. What would have been shareware or naggware would today be SaaS and be gone the day the server shuts down.
