I totally agree with this:

> Seriously – I don’t care about “2.0” or “3.0”. Just give us incremental updates and charge a yearly fee. Everybody wins.

I've built a web-based text editor which I sell for a yearly subscription. What I like about this pricing is that the contract is clear:

1. The user pays a fee and expects 1 year of support

2. Developer gets paid and must support the software for 1 year

If I get bored, I can stop taking orders and shut down after 1 year.
