This whole statement is 100% wrong. You aren't even involved in IT support in any way, are you? Maybe you spend too much time in San Francisco and think everywhere is like that nonsense, but you couldn't be any more wrong.

The vast, VAST majority of companies continue to purchase software to do business tasks. While web applications (including rental software like the latest Office and Adobe Collection) are certainly growing, desktop software has hardly been relegated to the level of obsolescence you'd like to paint it as being. I assume you make money doing web applications and thus it's in your best interest to paint your field as being much larger than it actually is.
