About
On this blog I will be posting (hopefully) interesting information about Elctronic Software Distribution (ESD), eCommerce, and cool web stuff in general.
What’s so interesting about ESD?
Although everybody is talking/writing about SaaS, S+S, etc. most software is still used as an installable application on a PC/Mac. The distribution of that sofware occures mainly via retail and physical product. With increasing broadband penetration and overall Internet use, this doesn’t make sense anymore. Why buy a box with CDs and manuals, when you can get everything electronically. Besides faster delivery (as in instantly), there’s also a benefit to the environment.
So, I will use this blog to talk about this topic and share information I find on the subject.
