Roozz Aims To Be The Spotify, And Maybe The Hulu, For Traditional Software

Cloud services have been entering the mainstream, especially in the enterprise, for a while now, and even major players are dabbling with converting what was traditional "product software" into "services". Take Xbox 360 now offering pay-as-you-go Karaoke or Adobe experimenting with rental models. Seattle-based Spoon.net, which develops application virtualization software technology, does just this, and recently added support for Windows 8. They overall idea is that users can convert existing EXE applications into web apps. Now Danish company Roozz, which allows software publishers to make their titles available for rental as a cloud service, says it has gone from 500,000 to 1 million downloads of its proprietary browser plugin which let's users access normally desk-bound software via a browser.
