I would like to hear more comments on this.  I had assumed that, like buying a car or insurance, when you buy anything on a "payment plan," you end up paying more in "interest."

However, it's cheaper to upgrade annually (or whenever) than it is to buy a full license.  So, while it seems cheaper to buy a subscription, it may in fact be more expensive.  Has anybody done a cost comparison over time?
